The scale would balance a feather against your heart -- the point was to have your emotions (which are metaphorically centred around the heart) be light and positive. Negative emotions, such as anger or hatred, would weigh down the heart and thus make it heavier than the feather. Should the scale determine such you were then barred from entry into the afterlife.
