Matthew 22:37 Loving with Heart vs. Soul

Quote:
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
What is meant by "Heart" in this passage? How does one love God with all their heart in comparison to loving God with all their soul? What is the difference?

I have heard when the Bible speaks of "heart" it usually refers to the center of of one's being or the mind, but then it appears both of those options are covered with the mentioning of "soul" and "mind" in this verse.

I guess I am looking for a definition of these three parts of man that are referenced in this summarizing commandment.
