MIND AND HEART I heard on Tevet 10, February 1, 1928

• One must examine if the faith is in order, meaning if one has fear • and love, as it is written, “If I am a father, where is my honor, and • if I am a Lord, where is my fear?” And this is called “Mind.” • We must also see that there will not be any desires for selfgratification, • that even a thought to want for himself will not • arise in him, but all his desires will be only to bestow upon the • Creator. This is called “heart,” which is the meaning of “The • Merciful One wants the heart.”
