Tungkol naman sa PUSO. It is said that “the heart has a reason which reason cannot understand.” Bakit kaya kailangang magkaiba ng direksyon ang puso at isip ng isang tao? Ang isip kasi ng tao nakakagawa ng pagsisinungaling pero ang puso, hindi. Gustuhin man ng isip na diktahan ang puso, hindi rin ito mangyari. Iisa naman ang bawat tao pero bakit mismo siya ay nalilito kung alin sa dalawa ang susundin: isipan o damdamin? Kaya yata sinasabi sa isang awitin, “Sana dalawa puso ko…” Lalo namang imposibleng mangyari ito.
Ayon nga kay Cardinal Vidal, “the mind works by addition, the heart works by subtraction.” Kaya naman sinasabi sa Bible: “You cannot serve two masters at the same time.” Dahil hahamakin ang isa at paglilingkuran ang isa. Iisa lang ang puso ng tao. Hindi nito pwedeng pagsabayin ang pagmamahal sa Diyos at sa kayamanan. Dahil magugulo, malilito ang tao hanggang sa piliin niya ang iisa lamang na sasambahin. Sa pitak ng puso ng tao hindi laging nagwawagi ang Diyos. Kayamanan at paghahangad dito ang madalas nananalo.
Sino sa dalawa ang laman ng puso mo? “Where your treasure is, there your heart is.” The center of your attention is the center of your intention. If you want to find out, just watch where your mind goes when it wanders. That will give you a clue.
A change of heart can come after a change of mind. This is called “metanoia.” This can be the starting point of conversion. It may sound simple and easy but in truth it takes a long arduous process. It also takes time. So you must be patient. Growing old is obligatory but growing up is a choice. Don’t let your heart grow cold. Because it is there where you can find God.
