Wanting from the heart is from the urging of the moment of what is as opposed to wanting from the head which is from a wanting to fulfill some Conditioned Mind desire of the flesh…
A want is a want is a want. There isn’t much difference between the want of a drink of alcohol, heroin, a piece of candy, sex, money, a certain social status, notoriety, enlightenment, and on and on. Why I say this is because whenever a want arises it means the mind has become agitated and it is looking for something to quiet the agitation; this means life is wanted to be in some other way. When this occurs and wanting is the base of a given moment, it makes what’s occurring in that moment arise from a mind that’s discontented.
By wanting the moment in some other way, what is being implied is that something is missing and is needed for completeness. If this wasn’t true there would be no wanting. There would be no wanting if one realized they already had everything that was needed for completeness. But want if that's what’s there, enjoy it and don’t want the wanting to be different. Just learn to understand it and be with it so you don’t want it to be in some other way. Want to your hearts content and then the wanting will not be from a mind that wants. It will be from the heart because when something comes from the heart it isn’t wanting because its comes from an urging of what’s there…
