Music Music Why people fail?
Lots of people fail where their emotions come up,
They lose their witnessing,
They lose that peace,
They lose the balance and they do the drama and then they after doing the drama now they start feeling guilty for doing the drama and then they are beating themselves themselves up for days together.
So you see first of all you jumped into an emotion and then you created the drama and now you created extra drama for creating this drama.
Yeah yeah yeah so the most important thing on the path of Advaita is to recognize that there is this emotion,
This feeling that is coming up right now and there is a very strong possibility that I'm going to react to this before the drama.
You get it?
So if you have been practicing being in the witness as you go now you keep practicing being in the witness and you will notice oh I'm experiencing this sensation come up whether it is fear whether it is a sense of rejection whether it is a feeling of lack it doesn't matter.
Yeah it is an emotion and a particular emotion is creating a sensation in my body.
Yes there cannot be an emotion that does not create a corresponding sensation in the body it's not possible.
The more you are in the knowingness or the more you are in the witnessing it'll be very easy to recognize oh I'm experiencing a churning come up and you will notice the mind wants to now react to the sensation by lashing out at that person or lashing out at me in some way the mind wants to react.
Usually what do we do?
We suppress an emotion we don't want to face it especially if it is negative like a fear or a sense of lack a feeling I am not good enough.
Yeah yeah you don't want to face this you want to just push it away yeah Advaita says that is the wrong thing to do because it is again going to come up in a few days yes and the cycle is going to repeat so the sensible thing to do is first observe that the feeling is there even if the feeling is not there they say you do a closed eyed meditation of bringing the feeling close to you and literally kissing the feeling embracing the feeling loving the feeling yeah this this seems very challenging when you're feeling rejected you're feeling that oh the other person does not respect me or criticizes me that feeling is very heavy yeah yeah at that point you just close your eyes and be with the feeling you delete anything that the mind says the mind is going to come up with all things he said there's that happened blah blah blah blah you delete empty the room of all the sorts again and again you will have to keep pressing the delete button yes and you have to keep sinking into the feeling what we usually do we run away from the feeling Advaita says no you have to do the opposite you sink into this feeling sink the more you sink in the more the mind is going to react the more blah blah blah blah blah is going to increase you keep deleting keep ignoring keep sinking sinking sinking when you hit the bed of that emotion on the other side you will hear you will touch the same witnessing consciousness and that witness is quiet any emotion is nothing but the mind this mind is nothing but the same witnessing consciousness or awareness in activity got it awareness in activity is the mind mind at rest is the awareness okay so if this is very clear it means if there is a lot of activity going on that means the awareness is at the bottom of this activity it doesn't matter whether the activity is pleasant or unpleasant doesn't matter okay yeah i sink into the emotion go into it if tears come let them come if you're feeling horrible go through it go through the entire feeling as if feeling as if you know embracing it just dive into it and come out to the other side and you will be in absolute pure awareness and that is where there is peace you
