I heard on Tevet 10, February 1, 1928, Givat Shaul, Jerusalem

One must examine if the faith is in order, meaning if he 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 the fear of me?” And this is called “mind.”

We must also see that there will not be any desires to delight oneself, 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.”
