I was lurking around here for a bit and several times I've read someone say "seek with your heart, not with your mind".

The heart pumps blood and that's about it...I gather this is figurative, but figurative for what?

My guess is "emotions" or something along those lines....but I've not found it very useful in life to make decisions based on emotions....usually that doesn't turn out so good.

So what does that mean, 'seek with your heart'?
