The unification of the mind and heart corresponds to the unification of the soul with God. When your soul connects with God's mercy in the Jesus prayer, you soul slowly relinquishes attachment to and contamination from sinful activities. This is a process of cleansing so that the heart/mind/core can accept and have the light of God poured into it. This why the Master said against the literalists and dogmatists: "You wash the outside of the cup but not the inside."
Basically, yes mantra meditation clarifies and unifies the mind, allowing it to dwell in the perfect unity of the Supreme Being, to "be still and know that I am God."
Peace.

>Those who are demoniac do not know what is to be done and what is not to be done. Neither cleanliness nor proper behavior nor truth is found in them.

>They say that this world is unreal, with no foundation, no God in control. They say it is produced of sex desire and has no cause other than lust.

>Following such conclusions, the demoniac, who are lost to themselves and who have no intelligence, engage in unbeneficial, horrible works meant to destroy the world.

>Taking shelter of insatiable lust and absorbed in the conceit of pride and false prestige, the demoniac, thus illusioned, are always sworn to unclean work, attracted by the impermanent.

>They believe that to gratify the senses is the prime necessity of human civilization. Thus until the end of life their anxiety is immeasurable. Bound by a network of hundreds of thousands of desires and absorbed in lust and anger...

Matt 6:
25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?

27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?

28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?

31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

I didn't ask to have life, therefore why should I be afraid to give up my life? Behold the Son of Man hath conquered death by love, for no greater love hath man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. And is more a friend to us than God who through Their life we should live eternally...
