Jai Analyzing emotions is sometimes not enough How do you overcome some undesired emotions? Yes To overcome something We have to do a few things We have to know where it comes from I mean Where it comes from Second is How it grows Third is How it can be maintained It’s a simple thing If an enemy is going to attack you If I am in a house I need to know where the enemy is going to attack So where does it come from? If Pakistan is going to attack India At this point, the war will be over And how does the enemy become strong? Is it that they have got machine guns? Is it that they have got bombs? Is it that they have got weapons of mass destruction? What do they have? What strengthens them? And how can they weaken them? You know Let’s say The enemy is attacking And they create a smoke screen over Smoke screen means they can’t see me They can’t attack So basically To battle an enemy You need to know where it comes from How it grows And how can it be weakened So Shraddha Goswami With respect to our unhealthy emotions When we analyze them It is not that analysis means Okay This happened and this happened This is how it happened It means How did I Okay I did something wrong at that time How did it happen? Where did that emotion come from? When we find out certain specifics Simplify that as a source of emotion Then we try to create a system Then we try to avoid it Now We all have certain dictation The alcoholics are told Don’t ever go to bars Don’t drink alcohol with people And if you want to meet with friends Meet with friends But don’t meet with them in the bar So That is where the alcoholism comes from So we can find out Where the desire comes from And then try to avoid those situations We are not going to avoid them completely But we can minimize the exposure Second is How they grow strong Certain times Certain stimuli cannot be avoided But we can find out what makes them strong So for example Say When When I am alone Or when I am bored Or when I find that Somebody Somebody has spoken something which hurts me And then when I am hurt At that time I become more vulnerable to say Certain emotions Certain temptations Then I get Ok this is the situation And I am weak And at that time they become strong So then what happens is We are aware This is how that temptation comes This is how it becomes strong Then I find out how can I weaken I weaken because Ok When I am in an argument If I just start Chanting in the kitchen Or if I hear some people Or if I just come in the temple and take darshan Or if I just start the 730 yoga Or if I just start doing something You will be making noise I find out how I can Take my thoughts away from there And get them somewhere And then I can heal them So we find out what is the way We can heal them And by this If you have this Three things The origin The genesis And the weakening The counter The first one Then Then the analysis Drops out So the analysis Should focus in To equip us To reach Resilient emotions And If we don’t do this kind of analysis We just Fall in the same Trap Again and again And ignore I am just like this I am just over it I am over the whole thing I always do this I always do that I am just like this You know You don’t think You don’t have to think like that Ok I over see When do I do this What happens I try to find out the situation Maybe I don’t put alarm Or I sleep alone Or I Whatever it is So we apply what can happen And try to find out How it comes How it grows And how it will become Then we can prevent the relapses And that requires some distance When we are in the heat of emotion Either we are doing things Something wrong Or we are just beating We are just up for handling Other people We will say I can do this I can do this And that will be like Period So we have a distance And observe other people And learn When we learn Then we can find out What can we do Overcome this And to achieve Chakra Chakra Chakra Chakra Chakra Chakra Chakra Chakra Chakra Chakra
