The human mind works for its own rewards. It uses your body to get that reward for itself, while your ego makes you think you’re going to achieve something great by following the call of the mind. The mind laughs in the corner, watching your stupidity. Your intellect is sitting in another corner, trying to knock your head, but your lower self, built around your ego and desires, never listens to its call. When the ego gets challenged by any situation in life, fear knocks on the door. That fear tries to control your mind by imposing things that might numb the ego for a while, while slowly killing your own identity. You get absorbed in a state of sorrow as your mind is no longer able to operate in its usual way. That state of sorrow is created by the mind conditioned by fear. But when your heart shows emotional intelligence, the fear can exit with effort. Your mind gets out of its cage with the help of emotional intelligence, where both the heart and intellect play a coordinated role. That is the state when your mind becomes more open to forming coordination with the heart and intellect, moving your body into actions where you begin to find joy in the present. Eventually, this leads to a state where your mental state becomes profound, regardless of what phase of life you're in during those moments.
