By focusing on the heart, you begin to realize your true self and begin to think the thoughts and take the actions that serve you. The mind (chitta) becomes clear when the heart is in charge.
Hridaya Chitta Samvit
By Samyama (focus) at the heart, the knowledge of the mind stuff is obtained.
-Yoga Sutra 3.35
Agapism is belief in selfless, charitable, non-erotic (brotherly) love, spiritual love, love of the soul. It can mean belief that such love (or "agape") should be the sole ultimate value and that all other values are derived from it, or that the sole moral imperative is to love. Theological agapism holds that our love of God is expressed by loving each other. As the ethics of love agapism indicates that we should do the most loving thing in each situation, letting love determine our obligation rather than rules. Alternatively, given a set of rules, agapism indicates to follow those rules which produce the most love.*...very similar to Bhakti!
