Understanding Emotions - 13

[Guest guest]

13. Just telling ourselves, " I should not be negative, I should be

positive! " is helpful; but eventually we have to elevate our thinking

to see all as our own Self. Slowly rise to this level of thinking, " It

is Divinity alone that is present everywhere! " Feel that presence of

God everywhere, and rise above duality and the pairs of opposites. And

eventually it will become a way of life. As we have seen, there is

really no question of positive or negative emotions. It is only a

matter of vision and understanding. How emotions present themselves

will depend upon our attitude and circumstances.

 

We may feel jealous of a successful person, but we are never jealous of

the success of our own children, even though they are someone other

than us. On the contrary, we are proud of them and rejoice that they

have surpassed us. Thus, because of love, we do not feel envious or

resentful, we feel happy. How does that happen? It is because, we are

able to see our Self in them; and that is called pure love.
