TEFILAH: THE SERVICE OF THE HEART
For many people, even those who are spiritually elevated, ‫ – תפילה‬tefilah
(prayer) is hard to comprehend.

At a metaphysical level, the heart is the channel through which human beings
express themselves. According to the theory of the five elements of Chinese
medicine, the heart represents our ability to express and communicate not only
our love but also our essence. In order to speak to God, the heart must make a
spiritual effort that is more instance than simple meditation, because it must
express and give shape to our most intimate desires.

Prayer is a way of externalizing our desire for growth, of approaching the
Absolute: if prayer is "service of the heart".

It is no accident that God says to a person: my son, give me your heart. If you
give me your heart, I know that you are mine.
