Significado

In the city of the body, the heart is considered to be the capital. Just as the capital of a state is especially gorgeously filled with various high buildings and lustrous palaces, the heart of the body is filled with various desires and plans for material enjoyment. Such plans are sometimes compared to valuable jewels such as sapphires, rubies, pearls and emeralds. The heart becomes the center for all planning for material enjoyment.

En la ciudad del cuerpo, el corazón es la capital. La capital de un estado es una ciudad especialmente suntuosa, en la que abundan los grandes edificios y los palacios lujosos; de la misma manera, en el cuerpo, el corazón está lleno de deseos y planes de disfrute material. Esos planes a veces se comparan con joyas valiosas, como zafiros, rubíes, perlas y esmeraldas. El corazón es el centro de todos los planes de disfrute material.
