(an interesting question posted in this other not so appropriate topic)

Talasiga ji,

In your opinion, is it possible to entirely separate the emotional from the intellectual, particularly in the context of spiritual endeavour? Till what point should one be able to relate to another whose belief system (otherwise non-disruptive) militates strongly against some long cherished spiritual goal.

I know what is written in the "books", but I am curious for an answer from an enigmatic but clearly experienced personality like yourself.

Regards,
Kishalaya

Let me ask you a question if I may.
Your question is premised on there being a separator.
Who is the separator?

The individual himself/herself!
