Jesus said: "For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander." Matthew 15:19
The Prophet Jeremiah said three hundred years before Sidartha Gautama (Mr. Buddah): -The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it? "I the LORD search the heart and examine the mind, to reward a man according to his conduct, according to what his deeds deserve."- Jeremiah 17:9-10.
Bottom line? The Heart is that inner part of us that drives all our good and evil desires. The Heart is not the same as the Mind, thus it is that part of us that we are not even aware of. However the Heart does manifest itself in our actions and words, as Jesus explains: "The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks." Luke 6:45.
