Full Video: Do emotions trouble you? || Acharya Prashant (2022)
Transcript
00:00I feel that I am very emotional. So why I let my emotions perpetuate me when I know that I should act more logically.
00:08So it's not about being emotional versus being logical.
00:13Being more logical might help you to an extent, but it is not really the solution to being identified with one's emotions.
00:26Dedicate your emotions, your resources, your energy, your laughter, your tear, your jealousy, your possessiveness, whatever you call as emotionality to something beyond yourself.
00:37So please do not take emotions as a liability. They are not.
00:42Whatever they are, they are something you are saddled with.
00:46Alternately, you could say they are something you are gifted with.
00:49So you have them. When you have something, you better not curse it or look down upon it.
00:55You have to learn to live with it. Better still, you have to learn to excel with it.
