im just curious about something
do we let our emotions guide our life?
maybe like god saying, live your life- be true to who you are- and discover what i've given you
the emotions and the choices we make from them
do they reveal to us who we are ? is this our gift, discovering in life ?
sometimes, reason is necessary. sometimes reason helps us decide not to act off a fleeting emotion
other times, reason is not enough or ones emotions might outweigh logic- and sometimes, 'logic' is wrong
i agree and think its good to pull out from the immediate life and enter in stillness, whenever we feel the need...
but to pull away and never live in flow with the external
creation
.... ? is there a balance
Emotions and reason are only tools and incentives to a spring board of action. Many times not very well thought out or guided. If they are not guided by wisdom and divine plan they serve no useful purpose. Many of us identify with our emotions and reason and loose touch and believe they are the reality. The knowing reality is something much more than these. In actuality they are noise during meditation. We need to turn down the noise so we can be at peace with our body and in our mind. Only at this state can we be guided by divine will which will come to us in all our activities and most importantly in the stillness of silence within.
