":The Coptic monks of the desert knew only a single word and a
single struggle for designating both the mind and the heart.
We tend to separate the mind from the heart. We like to fill
the mind; yet, we forget the heart. Or else, we fill the heart
with information that should fill the mind. Nevertheless, the
two work differently; the mind learns; the heart knows. The
mind is educated; the heart believes. The mind is intellectual,
speculative; it reads and speaks. The heart is intuitive,
mystical; it grows in silence. The two should be together; and
they should be brought together in the presence of love."
