The Knot of the Heart Is Loosed
When one has seen that source, high and near — the knot of the heart is loosed, all doubts are cut, and the chains of action fall away.
The image of the 'knot of the heart' strikes home.
What is the one knot in my heart, long tied and unloosed?
📝Reflection
The image of the 'knot of the heart' strikes home. Within us is a knot long tied and unloosed — regret, resentment, fear, an old story that defines us. This verse says that the moment one sees the source, that knot loosens on its own. A knot is not cut by yanking hard but slips loose when the misunderstanding that tied it comes undone. We know the experience of a single deep understanding dissolving an old lump inside. Rather than glaring at the knot and straining, to see anew the story that made it — there the loosening begins.
