ANECDOTE

Maharaji's Fierce Love

  • Ram Dass recounts seeing Maharaji screaming at a man and reacting angrily himself.
  • Maharaji replied, 'you can be angry at somebody, but you cannot throw them out of your heart.'
ADVICE

Use Devotion As A Pathway

  • Use devotional images to generate heartfelt emotions and then move beyond them into pure presence.
  • Aim those emotions toward God or your chosen ideal to convert feeling into spiritual practice.
INSIGHT

Emotions As Reactive Thought-Forms

  • Emotions are subtle thought-forms that arise reactively in response to situations.
  • Cultivate a quiet witness that watches emotions arise and pass without acting them out.
