Do we need intelligence to deal with resentment?
Dealing with resentment, again as I said we have intelligence and whatever it takes to deal with resentment we have to do that some of us may be more rational than emotional if we are more rational then we need rational analysis and when things are rationally analyzed and explained then we are able to come down some people are more emotional than rational so if they feel hurt by one person, you know if they are sheltered by someone else if they feel loved by someone else then that's enough for them so all of us are different and we have to find out what is our need so that we can deal with whatever it is when we say that by practice of Krishna Consciousness say emotions or desires the practice of Krishna Consciousness is inclusive, it's a matter of Krishna Consciousness it is not just chanting Hare Krishna chanting Hare Krishna is vital but chanting Hare Krishna is central to developing a relationship with Krishna and developing a relationship with Krishna means using whatever he has given to us in his service so if we have to intellectually process certain emotions so that we can deal with them, that's what we should do now most of us we have been born and brought up in a culture where rationality is quite valued and although we may have our particular natures, if things are explained systematically that helps us if we are able to analyze systematically, it helps us so generally with respect to the principle of becoming Krishna Conscious that is universal with the practice of what makes one Krishna Conscious there are certain standard practices like chanting and hearing and associating with devotees, worshipping the deities, but with respect to introspection, with respect to processing of emotions, whatever we need to do, we should do with respect to practicality we have to find out what is our need and we get that perfect so it is said that the shoe that bites one leg, the shoe that fits one leg, bites another leg so you know for one person intellectual analysis for processing of emotions is vital for another person I just feel burdened by this so if they feel like that, that's fine so we have to find out what is our need and adapt in Krishna Consciousness the standard practices are meant to direct our consciousness towards Krishna but when we are going towards Krishna we use all that we have in service so if we have introspective nature we have analytical nature we have extrovert nature whatever it is we have to find out how to accommodate the nature in a way that we can use it to move towards Krishna does it answer your question?
