 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.”
