લાગણીઓનું એવું!
સહેજ છેડાય ને પ્રગટે પ્રખર કથાકાર
તોડીમરોડી ખુદને સાચી ઠેરવે
ને બનાવી મૂકે વાર્તા જોરદાર.
સંવેદન જે છંછેડાયું
વલોવે પડી રહેલો 'અતિરેક'ભાવ
હકીકતથી વધુ, વધારીને ઘડે
ને પ્રભાવક બનાવે મુદ્દો ભરી માલ!
ઊભરો સાથે જે વહ્યું
એમાં અભિવ્યક્તિનો પણ અદનો કિરદાર
પ્રતિસંવેદન મેળવવા વરસાવે
અતિશયોક્તિભરી અતિવૃષ્ટિનો વરસાદ!
સ્વસ્થ સમભાવી સાક્ષીપણું
અસરકારક ને સંતુલનમાં મૂકે અતિ કે મર્યાદ
એ માપદંડે મન પક્વતામાં પાકે
ને નિયંત્રીત કરે લાગણીનું સામ્રાજ્ય.
વિચાર અને સંવેદન,
બંને મનની પેદાશ
એટલે જ,
મન એમનો પ્રધાન...
પ્રભુ ઘડે પ્રાવધાન...

“In this perfection too there is no question of a severe ascetic insensibility, an aloof spiritual indifference or a strained rugged austerity of self-suppression. This is not a killing of the emotional nature but a transformation. All that presents itself here in our outward nature in perverse or imperfect forms has a significance and utility which come out when we get back to the greater truth of divine being.”
“Love will not be destroyed, but perfected, enlarged to its widest capacity, deepened to its spiritual rapture, the love of God, the love of man, the love of all things as ourselves and as beings and powers of the Divine; a large, universal love, not at all incapable of various relation, will replace the claimant, egoistic, self-regarding love of little joys and griefs and insistent demands afflicted with all the chequered pattern of angers and jealousies and satisfactions, rushings to unity and movements of fatigue, divorce and separation on which we now place so high a value. Grief will cease to exist, but a universal, an equal love and sympathy will take its place, not a suffering sympathy, but a power which, itself delivered, is strong to sustain, to help, to liberate. To the free spirit wrath and hatred are impossible, but not the strong Rudra energy of the Divine which can battle without hatred and destroy without wrath, because all the time aware of the things it destroys as part of itself, its own manifestations and unaltered therefore in its sympathy and understanding of those in whom are embodied these manifestations. All our emotional nature will undergo this high liberating transformation; but in order that it may do so, a perfect equality is the effective condition.”

Emotion is an excellent and indispensable thing in human nature, in spite of all its shortcomings and dangers .... [But] our aim is to go beyond emotion to the height and depth and intensity of the Divine Love and there feel through the inner psychic heart an inexhaustible oneness with the Divine which the spasmodic leapings of the vital emotions cannot reach or experience.
Emotion is a good element in yoga; but emotional desire becomes easily a cause of perturbation and an obstacle. Turn your emotions towards the Divine, aspire for their purification; they will then become a help on the way and no longer a cause of suffering.

Not to kill emotion, but to turn it towards the Divine is the right way of the yoga.
But it must become pure, founded upon spiritual peace and joy, capable of being transmuted into Ananda. Equality and calm in the mind and vital parts, an intense psychic emotion in the heart can perfectly go together. Awake by your aspiration the psychic fire in the heart that burns steadily towards the Divine - that is the one way to liberate and fulfill the emotional nature. SA
