I
had never thought of excess emotion as energy pollution but today, after
studying Advaita Vedanta, I am beginning to understand why it is called
pollution. It is a mind activity. And imbalanced emotions contribute to turmoil,
stress, turbulence and more , spreading a lot of unhappiness all around. It is
like cancer cells spreading without control, god forbid!
If
we begin to understand that everything from people to relationships to mind,
intellect, ego function as per our tendencies, maybe from this life or past
lives, we would sit back and think. In either case, these are dangerous because
they trigger imbalanced actions without giving a window to reflect before
acting.
Fire
is a wonderful purifier of the emotional energy pollution. Spend time in front
of the fire. Light lamps or candles and meditate in front of them, especially
when you are restless, agitated, with some amount of disturbance in the mind.
Nothing
lasts! We just have to make an effort, sometimes a Herculean one, to regain our
peace. And for this, there is nothing like sharing our love and caring with
those less fortunate. Because, often, we become very selfish in our negative
states of being.
And
of course, befriend the fire element for beautiful transformations.
