Legs
Right and left: how they correspond to the mind and the heart
July 11th 2012
Do you know that two legs are much better than one? Yes, of course, you will say you have known that for a long time. So why do you stay perched on one leg? You do – I keep seeing you hopping on one leg instead of walking. There are those who always respond from the heart, their left leg (meaning that they do not think) and those who always respond from their mind, their right leg (meaning that they lack kindness or tolerance). They are all one-legged! You see, there are so many things you think you know, but as you do not put them into practice you do not know them.
Why does nature make us walk by moving one leg forward and then the other? The answer is simple: it is to remind us that we must respond sometimes from our heart and sometimes from our mind. To behave rightly, we must use the masculine and feminine principles alternately and know at what point to change the polarity. How many problems seem insoluble only because you do not know how to use both legs to go forward!
