Your Heart's Desire

To grow spiritually, you don't need to give up your BMW, become celibate, or banish all your aspirations.

By Rod Stryker

My concern is that many yogis today, incredibly passionate and clear about what they want out of physical practice, are much less comfortable, even conflicted, about having desire elsewhere in their lives. This prejudice against desire has the potential to breed confusion and self-doubt, as well as guilt, cynicism, and apathy.

But if desire is the sacred fabric of nature, the force behind all creation and accomplishment, it is vital that each of us who pursues a deeper knowledge of ourselves through yoga asks, "What do I really desire?" The answers may be coming from a Source too important to ignore.
