Head-to-head communication is through thoughts and words, while heart-to-heart communication is through feelings. People, throughout the ages, have felt that they cannot communicate their feelings. If we could communicate all our feelings through words, then we would be living very shallow lives. Life is rich because feelings cannot be captured in words!
So we use all these gestures – we hug, so that hearts come closer, we give flowers, so that feelings are conveyed. We put all our efforts into expressing our feelings and still feelings remain unexpressed.
Soul-to-soul communication is silence. When we transcend the feeling level, we become still. Stillness is at the peak of any experience – that’s why the saying, “Be still… and know your God”.
When our eyes are open, we are lost in activity, and when our eyes are closed, we fall asleep. So we miss the point – the point is in-between closing our eyes, and not falling asleep.
