We know that the heart is the collective/sum of desires. However, we know the heart cannot change all at once. So where do we start?
Kabbalah speaks of the “point of the heart”. This is the part of the heart where a single desire strives for correction. All we need to do is start at that point. Don’t worry about the rest of the heart. Start with that one desire. Over time that desire will become infectious and start transforming other parts of the heart.
As an individual, look at your desires and intensions behind your actions. Is the intention behind the action out of love for your fellow human? Start with the simple things. Do your “hellos” and “good mornings” come from a heartfelt love for another? Or do you harbor a private negative thought about that person you are greeting, or do you simply hate that person when saying it. There is power behind words when coupled with intensions.
