Acharya Prashant addresses the question of dealing with negative emotions by first challenging the very labels of 'negative' and 'positive'. He explains that when you start judging an emotion as positive or negative, you have already made it difficult for yourself to know what that thing is really about. He questions the basis of such labels, asking, "Positive for whom? Negative with respect to what?" Instead of judging, he advises focusing on the emotion itself. All emotions, he states, are trying to tell you something about yourself, provided you are willing to listen and see. Even emotions like anger or grief are exposing something that is usually hidden in the lower layers of your consciousness. Therefore, they do not merit condemnation but deserve attention. To illustrate this, he uses the analogy of not knowing how a car engine works and seeing a liquid dripping from it. One might quickly label it as a negative thing, but without understanding, one cannot know if it's a serious issue like an oil leak or a normal function like condensation from the air conditioner. Similarly, labeling emotions without understanding their root cause is futile. He explains that every emotion has a superficial reason and a deeper reason. For instance, anger indicates something within you is resisting the world, and disappointment arises from an unmet desire. By investigating these deeper reasons, you discover something important about yourself. The stronger the emotion, the more significant the discovery waiting for you, so one should not miss the opportunity. Acharya Prashant further elaborates that all beings, irrespective of species, gender, or personality, have one central urge: to seek dissolution, which is joy. Our personality and all its expressions are manifestations of an inherent incompleteness seeking resolution. This is the reason for all human expression—to bring incompleteness to light and thereby find completion, which he calls liberation. He connects this to mental health, stating that everything, including gender, has a relation to it because our diverse identities are ways our fundamental incompleteness expresses itself. He concludes by advising to pay attention to all thoughts, emotions, and actions, as they are opportunities for self-discovery and for the resolution of our inner incompleteness.
