Logically putting together, eyes capture the vision, our brain interprets the events, and hearts feel it. On a contrary, what if there is no such phenomenon going on around us and yet our heart is capable to sense something? Heart is not a mere organ consisting of 2 auricles and 2 ventricles and 1 septum, it has an immense ability to feel abstract emotions that eyes overlook.
Is it just a moon ? Ask your mind and your heart!? , you will have two answers !
Let's start with a story. Once, two persons were admitted in the same room of a hospital. One of them named Ali was blind. He was seated beside the window pane.
Vikram lay down in the middle of the room from where he could not see outside. Within few days, they became very good friends of each other but Vikram was unaware of Ali's blindness.
Everyday Vikram insisted Ali to tell what he could see out of the window pane. Ali used to describe the beautiful picturesque how tall were the trees, how children played under those trees, how birds were flying in the sky.
The other one listened with all his heart and started recovering too.
On one gloomy morning, when Vikram had already recovered the most of it, Ali died. And Vikram was shifted to Ali's bed, i.e. beside the window pane. Vikram wanted to view outside very eagerly but he was astonished to see nothing whatever Ali explained till that day. What should we conclude out of this? How could Ali see the beautiful scenery when he was blind?
Ali's inner vision was strong enough to cure Vikram's illness!!! Human beings tend to believe whatever they witness with their eyes. Yet we believe in god.
If not god, some of us believe in supernatural power that drives our life.
Have we seen god? No... ,but still our hearts seek solace and luck from Almighty in terms of crisis. If everything present in this world had to exist physically, none of us had ever been driven by the power of Almighty. The hearts can visualise, feel places, people, emotions which our eyes will never see.
Is god virtual? Some still doubt his existence. So, some real aspects need to be focussed where heart sees more than eyes. Taking all the troubles in our family life into consideration, our heart feel or sense that normal eyes will-bonded from a broader perspective, but when the matter comes to stay with them, we get to know the actual scenario.
Growing together with the elders and cousins has given us the ability to know everyone's character better. Many a times, a conflict occurs between two of the family member.
Apparently, it seems both of them are correct from their point of view but our heart knows who can give rise to such a conflict without seeing the actual incident. Instead of taking anyone's stand, we try to sort out the issues at such situations. But it is our inner selves which are aware to visualise the root of the conflict as we know each of their characters.
Moving to a broader aspect, we often say law is blind. Why is the lady of justice blindfolded? It depicts that justice should be meted out irrespective of identity, recognition, financial condition or powers. Although our law is evidential, many aspects go unnoticed while the judgement/verdict is announced. Murderers are sentenced capital punishment but law does not bother about the facts which led him to be a murderer.
Sometimes, evidential proofs should be supported by human justifications as well. On a striking contrast, rapist and monstrous criminals are roaming free due to insufficient proofs.
Despite sensing their heinous act, court is unable to give verdict against them. Although our hearts see a lot more than our eyes in these cases, we still feel miserable for our law and orders.
This quote of Jackson Brown, not only depict the feelings of the heart, but also it hints the imagination of our mind.
The power of imagination is much stronger and like us to a world beyond expectation. Herge, creator of "The Adventures of Tintin", had imagined Tintin in the moon in the starting years of 1900s. After a century, research study says that water is found on moon.
Imagination with a blend of logical perspective can lead to predict future. Maybe for the reason Herge retold so nicely through a comic character. One of the famous scientists during World War Il once said that he did not know what weapon would be used for World War III.
But he could certainly predict that World War I would be fought with bow and arrow because, by then humanity would be destroyed. Don't we find it very true considering the political atmosphere here ?
If coming war is fought for nuclear weapons, human races will be extinct. What made him predict like this which is proving to be true? Power of imagination stirred with knowledge!!!
When our grandmothers used to tell fairy tales to our uncles and aunts, those stories had submarines, scientific weapons as a part of it. Is it not satisfactorily strange how could the writers visualise such scientific innovations many days back?
These are also a part of today's world. So, how they could think so ahead of their times? Inner eyes perhaps!!
Satyajit Ray made films way ahead of his times which is nothing but because of his capability to imagine. We are living in a scientific era. Frankly speaking, it is a dream come true where we are blessed with all pleasures of life because of technological improvements. This is our apparent vision. But what are we feeling when the prices of gases and petrol hike? Eyes can definitely witness the scientific achievements, but what our heart exactly feel about the fast depleting non-renewable resources? Will our offspring survive? What about the future of our next generation?
Being a 2024 guy, although we must be driven by our logical senses, but still I think our hearts are more mature than our eyes. Logical thinking should be presented in human beings. We need to stretch our imagination to experience a lot more than we do. Not only it will enrich our lives, but also the world will be a better place to live in. Moreover, our parents should be the initial point of inspiration. Despite our eagerness to hide our feelings from them, they still manage to come across our inner turmoil or pleasures so well!!!
