4) The Basis of the Mind: Emotion, Intellect, and Will

If we analyze the basis of our mind, we find emotion, intellect, and will. The most fundamental of the three, however, is emotion. Where do you want to store something that is most important to you? You will want to put it somewhere that only you know about. It is a place where no one can come in and interfere and where you have an absolute authority. Where is such a place? It is deep inside the mind. It is the place you feel most safe. People put their valuables inside their closets, but the place where the truth can be stored is your mind.

Emotion does not operate by itself; it requires an object-partner. No matter how harmonious a couple may be, if they have no children, they feel empty and bored. The older they get, the more empty and bored they feel. There should be a child to serve and walk before them.

Childless people have no hope. Children are hope. Without them, there is no hope. Truth expands as an eternal hope. Also, heart stays with eternal hope eternally. With respect to emotion, no matter how noble a man or woman may be, they cannot form a mutual relationship without a partner. (24-319)
