"At HeartMath we’ve spent the last 15 years diligently studying “heart” physically, emotionally and spiritually. Our researchers have been mapping the communication pathways between the heart, the brain and the rest of body while also studying the effects of positive emotions on health and performance. What we’ve learned is that the heart is the master controller in the human system capable of sending powerful, healing commands throughout the entire body. These signals from the heart have a dynamic impact on the nervous, hormonal and immune systems. They also influence brain function and have the ability to improve cardiovascular disease, hypertension, diabetes, psychological problems and more. In essence our old friend the heart may be the best healer of all."
Heart as the center of a man. Which indeed the heart is the thing that controlling a man's thought, doing etc. If a heart is a pure as a white cloth, than the man is pure, well being etc. But on the other hand, if the heart of a man is as dark as pit black than all his doing, act will be judge or dim as bad. That is the power of heart. A pure heart give out a positive energy to the surrounding while a bad or dirty heart give out all negative energy.
To find a good man, first we must look deep into his heart. Judge his act, being, thought etc before judging him a good or bad man.
