“The physical heart is the symbol of these "unfathomable depths." We need to throw our "intellectual" thoughts into the furnace of the spiritual heart where they can be heated up and burst into flame; then the burning cry will spring forth and rise toward Jesus the God-Man. This is in fact the meaning of the search for the "place of the heart.”
