§ 'दिल से' and Prepositions

Since 'से' is a postposition (which acts like a preposition in English), 'दिल से' is already a complete adverbial phrase. You generally won't add other prepositions directly to it. It describes the manner of the verb.

For example, you wouldn't say 'के लिए दिल से' (ke liye dil se - for from the heart). The 'से' already fulfills that grammatical role of indicating origin or manner.

मैं दिल से चाहता हूँ कि आप सफल हों। (Main dil se chahta hoon ki aap safal hon.)

Translation Hint: I sincerely wish that you succeed.

This usage is natural. There's no need for an extra preposition like 'के लिए' (for) because 'दिल से' itself already conveys the genuine desire behind the wish.

Keep practicing these examples, and you'll soon be using 'दिल से' like a native speaker!
