Questioner: Who should allow it? The mind?

Amma: Your whole being-- your mind, body and intellect.

Questioner: Is it a question of understanding?

Amma: It is a question of understanding and doing.

Questioner: How do we develop that understanding?

Amma: By developing humility.

Questioner: What is so great about humility?

Amma:  Humility makes you receptive to all experiences
without judging them. So you learn more.

It is not of question of intellectual understanding alone. There are many people all over the world who have enough spiritual information in their heads. Yet among such people, how many are really spiritual and sincerely strive to attain the Goal or even try to gain a deeper understanding of spiritual principles? Very few, isn't it?

Questioner: So Amma, what is the real problem? Is it faithlessness or the difficulty of getting out of our head?

Amma: If you have true faith then you automatically fall into the heart.

Questioner: So it is faithlessness?

Amma: What do you think?

Questioner: Yes it is faithlessness. But why did you call it falling into the heart?

Amma: Physically speaking, the head is the topmost part of the body. To go from there to the heart, one must fall. However spiritually speaking it is rising up and soaring high.

.....from 'Amma's Heart'
