Knowledge and Love

I have been concentrating on both the head and the heart centres. In meditation the being falls silent, but the head gets heavy and I feel some working going on there. I hope I am not going to get knowledge only, because this is the centre for knowledge; I want bhakti and love too.

When things come in this order the head opens up first and the heart afterwards – finally all the centres. If you are satisfied only with peace, knowledge and mukti, then perhaps the heart centre may open to that only. But if you want the love, then the descending Power and Light will work for that also.
