This article, considers thatthe relation of heart and mind in the Asian Societies. The
heart as the center of ıntuition and the mind as the emperor of the castle of body. Yunus
Emre describes the heart as “the throne of God” whereas he refers to heart as the center of
the Divine Light, mysteries, the wisdom and knowledge. Whereas the mind is the emperor
of the castle of body, the heart is like a treasure between the mind and the body. This
treasure opens up with the power of love. When the heart is accompanied by the mind, it
attains at the station of emperorship. For Yunus Emre, reasoning and love are not remote
and independent realities. On the contrary they are intertwined. They control each other.
