There is a universe of a difference between using one's mind to understand the soul versus using one's soul to understand the soul. For the soul has its own realm of experience, nonlinear developmental stages, and mysterious growth patterns that don't follow the neatly linear and logical conceptions of the mind.
To really understand the phrase "love your God with all your soul", the mind's cognitive analysis of the text is severely limited and will only get so far. One needs to experience the phrase with one's own soul in order to soulfully get it. The cognition alone, from the shores of its rationality, can only snorkel a stone's throw into the oceanic depths of the soul. The depths are reserved for another type of being.
