The Art of Changing Hearts

"Heaven and Earth seem to meet at the horizon
 but where they really meet is in your heart"
-Josemaria Escriva-

The heart is the part of the body that no one can ever reach and understand. Its the inner part of the person that no one can control not even the owner itself. Science explains that the mind is the central processing unit of our whole being but I know that sometimes you also realize that your heart feels something that is totally in contrary to what you are thinking. Somehow the heart is uncontrollable. Like for instance you fell in love to someone whom you know you are not suppose to. Or sometimes you are hurt when you realize that your friend for example is happy with his girlfriend. There are times that we can not reason out why we feel that way and why even though how hard we try to control these "should not be" feelings it still exist. But yes of course we can control our actions but deep inside we know that we are doing what is contrary to our feelings. Really it is our heart that we can't trust and also it is the heart that we can't judge.

Why am I saying all this? Well if you want to get the sympathy of the person or if you want to make the person understand what you are saying the most effective way us the way to her heart. You have to be able to change the heart of the person before you make him able to grasp and make it his own your way of thinking. Changing of heart is the best and mist effective way in the art of teaching and in giving talks. A talk however nice it is or however logical and practical and even if you had explain it clearly is worth nothing if you are unable to reach the heart of your listener. Even if they will be able to grasp it and they could say it again word by word is still worthless if it didn't get trough their heart. Giving a talk is like blood transfusion or organ transplant,the idea is yours and you pass it to another person and it becomes part of that person. When a lung is transplanted to a person you can't say that the lung that she has now is if so and so, no that lung becomes hers, you can not separate the lung and the person. In passing on ideals that ideals should become part of that person.
