(RV 3.26.8)
hŗdā
matim jyotir-anu prajānan,
Following the thought with the heart he has reached the knowledge
of the
Light.
It is not possible to arrive at a complete knowledge of the
Truth-Light by the intellect alone. Nor is that possible by sheer
intensity of the emotions in the heart. Thought can tie itself in
the webs of its own making; emotions may effervesce and spend
themselves. The seeking in the depths of the heart must be linked
to the soaring thought on the summits of the mind; the thought
must be up buoyed by the support and push of the psychic. Only
then can one reach the integral knowledge of the divine Light.
