152) The second question that that gentile asked him was this: “We are certainly closer to the high king than all other nations.” Indeed, so it is, since Israel were made by the Creator, the heart of the whole world. And so are Israel among the nations, like a heart among the organs. And as the organs of the body cannot exist in the world even a minute without the heart, all the other nations cannot exist in the world without Israel. And so is Jerusalem among the rest of the countries, like a heart among the organs. Hence, it is in the middle of the whole world, like a heart, which is in the middle of the organs.
153) Also, Israel are lead within the rest of the nations as the heart within the organs. The heart is soft and weak, and it is the sustenance of all the organs, and all the organs do not feel any sorrow, trouble, and grief, but only the heart, in which there are sustenance and intelligence. Sorrow and grief do not come near the rest of the organs whatsoever because there is no sustenance in them, and they do not know anything.
All the other organs are not close to the king, who is wisdom and intelligence that are in the brain, except the heart. The rest of the organs are far from it and do not know of it at all. So are Israel—close to the holy king, while the rest of the nations are far from Him.
