Kabalah

"All of man's bodily organs are dependent on the heart," was a Talmudic dictum. It is the heart therefore which may be said to carry responsibility for whatever we do in life. Thus one rabbinic comment offers us the sweeping generalization: fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff"The heart sees, hears, speaks, walks, falls, stands, rejoices, hardens, softens, grieves, fears, ffffffffffffffffis broken,fffffffffffffffff is haughty … persuades, errs, fears, loves, hates, ffffffffffffffffffffenvies, searches, fffffffffffreflects. …" ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

To control one's emotions and to bring life under the directing voice of reason was regarded by the rabbis as the mark of true heroism. "Who is a hero?" one rabbi asked in the ethical treatise Abot. His reply was: "He who controls his passion." jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjKabalah
