If the eye of the heart is open, in each atom there will be one hundred secrets. —Attar

Listening to your own heart is really very interesting. This untrained heart races around following its own habits. It jumps about excitedly, randomly, because it has never been trained. Train your heart! 

Buddhist meditation is about the heart; it’s about developing the heart or mind, about developing your own heart. This is very, very important. Buddhism is the religion of the heart. Only this. 

One who practices to develop the heart is one who practices Buddhism.

—Ajahn Chah

Food for the Heart

.

The knowledge of the heart is in no book and is not to be found in the mouth of any teacher, but grows out of you like the green seed from the dark earth.

—Carl Jung

.

And now here it my secret, a very simple secret; 

it is only with the heart that one can see rightly;

what is essential is invisible to the eye.

—Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
