In a small village, there were two twin brothers who lived happily like any other one in their neighbourhood.
Once, a Saint was passing through that village and due to long journey, he and his group of disciples decided to stay in that village for some while, take some rest and start over again.
As like everyone in the village, these two twin brothers also reached there to take blessings from Saint. After long wait, their turn came up and they stood before Saint together and greeted him.
Saint said “wow, that’s great. You are twin brothers. So how is life, what news you have to share with me”?
“We are fine, doing our won things, no complaints as such”
“Ok, that’s even great. Here are my blessings, continue your journey with same spirit”…. Saint thought to himself, there is someone who is happy with life in this village….and suddenly
“Actually, we want to discuss some thoughts with you” both then opened their mind……
“Ok, go ahead. Talk to me, say what’s you want to say”
First brother said “I want my tomorrow not to be like yesterday, I want progress with each day”
Saint looked at him for a minute into his eyes and said “ok, give me your heart and I will make sure you have progress and success all the way”
Without hesitation, he took out his heart and gave it to Saint.
Then the second one said “I want my tomorrow to be more beautiful than today, I want more and more memorable things each day”
Now Saint dnt expected this, so he was very silent for a moment and said “Ok, give me you brain so I will make sure your mind always listens to your heart every moment”
He dnt had any second thoughts, took out this brain and put it into Saint’s hands.
“Ok, now you both got what you wanted and wished for. There will be no more obstacles for you both, ahead. Go and live your life”
Saint knows for sure, it’s not yet finished with them, as the two brothers still standing before him with curious looks.
“Son, say it. What’s you both want to say.”
They both looked into each other faces and said “Saint, you got both heart and brain, so we are just confused what you want in your life. What will you do now, with them?”
Saint looked at them with satisfaction and replied “I want to live like a sensible human being, that’s all. So I need both, heart and brain”
P.S. So how many sensible humans we see around us :)

Its more of a puzzle than a story...
Looks like being with either brain or heart is more desirable than with both :)...life is stuck b/n brain and heart and becomes difficult as many of us have both..isnt it so?
Gud to know the insight..if ur decisions are via only brain u can be thinking only abt self gud ness...if its with heart..u will always think for others..ideally..for being sensible we need both :)
