The beating heart within the human soul
is pumping blood that gives eternal life.
The first beat is the love of God, I'm told;
The second is the love for other souls.
“And the scribe said unto [Jesus], Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he: And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices. And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God.” — Mark 12: 32-34
