Cultivating the heart Educating the mind without cultivating the heart is no education at all. In the popular understanding, "cultivation of the heart" is about sentimentality, empathy and comfortable social likability. But in hard pragmatics the meaning is completely different. Your intelligence, credentials and brilliant analytical skills are worthless if you have an unstable mind. A naked mind, unsupported by emotional discipline, becomes an instrument of self-destruction. A person with a high IQ who does not know how to throw a punch, fools with cheap provocations, panics or is unable to keep his mouth shut is simply a very smart loser. Indian lotus.
