The Dance of Heart and Mind

A poetic conversation on love, pain, and human complexity

Harinath as Mind & Sanya as Heart

Cosmic Dance

Mind:
Hi Heart.
I just read you… I must admit, you are beautiful. So many people take comfort in you.
You bring out such raw human emotions.
I wanted to pick your Brain on something (that sounds silly😜).

Waiting and expecting something from our lover is a beautiful feeling.
And when they respond in ways that surprise us, it feels truly amazing.

But what should one do when they don’t show up the way we hoped or expected?

How do we deal with that pain?
In trying to cope, are we unintentionally disturbing our mental peace and ending up unhappy?

Heart:
Thank you so much, Mind, for your kind words. ❤️
To be honest, I still don't know the answer to this question.

And I don't know how others move on so easily. Perhaps Brains are better than hearts.

I feel when someone really commits to another, it’s harder to move on because we get attached in ways we didn’t expect.

Strangely, being physically there for each other is one thing.
You might not show how much you value each other—maybe because you got them easily.

But when you've spent years waiting for someone with loyalty and devotion, it’s another level of hurt.

If they don't show up, I don't know how the person would deal with the pain unless they have something very strong to cope with the attachment issues.

Mind:
According to me, we came into this world as tourists.
We’re meant to enjoy life.

This is a place to fall in love, experience the beauty, breathe free, stay healthy, spend our time wisely, and have as much fun as possible… because one day, we all came with a return ticket.

Just keep falling in love, again and again.
There’s no time for sorrow, because we’ve all paid a price for this limited holiday.

So enjoy it to the fullest… without ruining another tourist’s experience.

Heart:
You're right, but every person is wired differently.
This perspective does outshine the sorrow, but most people can't adopt it.

It’s because when they love, they love deeply—almost like a devotion kind of love.

For those people, I see no solution.
People spend their whole lives waiting for a person.

I know their Brain would say, “Give up now.”
But their heart won’t let them.
It's not in their hands, really.

Mind:
Your response carries so much depth, dear Heart…
It makes my heart (silly, right? 🙂) feel heavy, in a way that feels sacred.

It’s something that I can’t fully comprehend, but my heart fills with joy.

Even though it knows the path is filled with hardships, we still choose to walk it.
Even when we have the option to enjoy a simpler, easier stay… we choose the harder path.

We know it’s the wrong choice… but still, we don't need a reason to choose this path.
Somehow, it feels worth the pain.

The body may break, but the smile doesn’t fade.
That makes the pain feel a million times better than the joyful path.

I truly love this conversation… it feels like pain has triumphed over joy.
Kudos to you.

Heart:
In the world of the Heart… every wrong feels right.

Mind:
In the world of the Mind… every right can also be wrong

IT SOUNDS SILLY RIGHT??? Below Poem may bring some clarity

Tango Mind & Heart

The Silly Ones
(Heart vs. Mind)

They say,  
"Follow your heart—  
the mind is too cold."  
Others say,  
"Think with your head—  
the heart is too bold."

And both,  
in their certainty,  
look at the other  
as if they were silly.

But here’s the twist—  
perhaps the one  
who mocks the other  
is the silliest of all.

Because life…  
isn’t a courtroom  
for logic to argue  
or emotions to weep.

It’s a dance.  
A quiet Tango  
between fire and frost,  
pulse and pause,  
impulse and reason.

Balance is the goal,  
they say—  
a graceful middle.

But even striving  
for that perfect balance  
feels a little silly,  
doesn’t it?

Still,  
we try.  
And maybe that’s  
where all the beauty lies.
