Comment: Arkady writes: “Michael Laitman, you always talk about the heart—feel with your heart, understand with your heart, and hear with your heart. Everyone nods their heads and writes sublime comments, as if they understand. But it is not clear. Tell us, practically, what is a heart that hears, understands, and feels? Otherwise, it resembles philosophy that is completely devoid of life.”

My Response: A heart that understands is aware of everything, feels, and hears; these are connected hearts, nothing more.

Comment: But the human heart has different associations.

My Response: Remove everything preventing their connection with each other, and you will get this common heart.

Question: When you say “heart,” what do you mean? Do you mean desire?

Answer: Yes, desire. Not a pump.

Question: What should my desire become in order to connect with desires of others?

Answer: It could be a pump, when I pump others. I live in order to pump blood, to drive my blood through others. And so does each one through all others.

Question: When you say “blood,” what do you mean?

Answer: Life-giving fluid. This is life.

Question: And when you say “life,” what do you mean?

Answer: Life is a feeling of connection with everyone and the reason for living.

Question: What do we come to when we start living this way?

Answer: We rise above ourselves, live for others, and are connected all together, and then we understand the hearts of all.

Question: Then it will all be like one heart. Besides “heart” can we replace this word?

Answer: No. This is what we are used to and how it is said and written everywhere.

Question: Kabbalists write “heart.” Why the heart and not the mind?

Answer: It is responsible for life. This is where we feel fulfillment, compression, expansion. We live according to this rhythm.

Question: When I say, “My heart is in pain,” what do I mean?

Answer: It is actually shrinking; these are very serious nerve connections. That’s why a person feels more, less; it is the work of the heart. That is why it is so significant.
