Mysterious “3”

I dunno why this number sounds mysterious to me since a long time. Its not my lucky number or unlucky number. I personally have nothing to do with that number yet it sounds mysterious. Today I just gave it a little thought and here are my findings.
We live in a 3 dimensional world.
Earth is the 3rd planet.
Eclipses are formed with 3 heavenly bodies
3 modes of transport (water, land and air)
All the matter around us can be classified into 3 states (solids, liquid and gas). The others are a hybrid.
We have 3 primary colors (red, blue, green)
As per hindu mythology, we have tri-murthy (brahma, Vishnu, maheshwara)
Most mythology talks about 3 (divine, human and evil)
Most of the times we talk about the top 3. (not top 2, not top 4 but top 3)


Scientifically, mythologically, psychologically, 3 has a great role to play.

Today I realize there are 3 in me that I depend on to project myself.
1) My brain that takes theory, theorems, values, history and works strictly on real time information available to arrive at conclusions.
2) My heart that sees beyond things and concludes based on no theory or real time information. I still wonder where does it get these conclusions from but it is a strong competitor to my brain.
3) Finally the virtual me who has the supreme power to choose what to go with. I can go with what my brain dictates or I can listen to what my heart says.

I feel I am always sandwiched tight between my brain and heart. I feel I am standing in-between my brain and heart who hardly agree with each other and are equally good at making conclusions.

The best lawyers that I have seen till date are my brain and my heart that are continuously at work and keep contradicting each other. They are the best competitors too. And the foolish me there, between them.

When I decide to go with my what my brain dictates as it comes to conclusions the logical way, and that decision proves to be wrong practically, my brain escapes saying “the real time data available then concluded this”, my heart laughs at me and says “you should have listened to me”.


When I decide to go with my what my heart suggests, I don’t find a logical way to explain why I support this, and that decision proves to be wrong practically, my brain shouts at me saying “why do you trust baseless conclusions? You should have listened to what I dictate”, my heart laughs at me and says “did I give you any explanation why I said so? Now y should I explain this?”

I can never master the art to choosing right between my brain and heart. And feel.
My Brain and heart never leave me alone.
They are always there no matter where.
They don’t need my attention but still function.
There is no way I can stop them from functioning.


“Peace” to me is only when my brain and heart are in sync on a decision.
“Hell” is when I practically fail when one of them was 100% correct.
“Dilemma” is when I am still thinking what to go with. Brain or heart.
“Victory” is when they both work hand in hand and practically be successful.

Does everyone feel the same?
Or is it just me who feels so?
