QUOTE : Lubb: In Arabic there is no word for mind. However, in the Qur'an the word that <br />designates a central locus of awareness in the human being is lubb, which means core. It is <br />the heart viewed as an organ of gnosis and not merely as a valave which pumps blood to the <br />head. Ibn al-'Arabi says that it is that part of knowledge which is protected from the hearts <br />which are attached to phenomenal being.
