Understanding Emotions - Sw. Tejomayananda - 14

[Guest guest]

14. Thus, when we see ourselves in the other person, love comes

naturally. And when there is love, there is no room for violence,

hatred, enmity, or jealousy. Love alone is a substitute for love. And

when that love becomes divine, nothing else can be said about it!

Someone asked Mahatma Gandhi, " What is God? " He answered, " God is

Love! " " And what is Love? " He answered, " Love is God. "

 

We need to understand the place of emotions in our life that is very

important. But that is not enough! We also need to bring harmony and

integration to our thoughts and emotions, and to our emotions and

actions. And if emotions are not understood properly and we do not know

their origin, we will continue to see differences; we will experience a

sense of alienation -- and then the negative emotions arise. But when

we see the Oneness everything becomes positive. Therefore, see that

Oneness! Rise above the sense of duality (the pairs of opposites),

divinize your thoughts and actions by directing them toward the Higher

and all problems will be resolved.
