Attain What Your Heart Is Fixed Upon

We attain what the heart is fixed upon. 
~Yogacharya Ellen Grace O'Brian

The Vedic teachings that inform our practice of meditation say “You are what your deep, driving desire is. As your desire is, so is your will. As your will is, so is your deed. As your deed is, so is your destiny." If our deepest desire is to realize our ultimate potential in life, we stand a chance of attaining it. These teachings also say that we come into life with downward drives like the desire for pleasure and aversion from what we wish to avoid. Our job is to take the acute self awareness from our meditation practice, turn away from the downward drives, and moment by moment pursue what is most uplifting in life.
