Acharya Prashant addresses a question about the fine line between expressing and not expressing emotions. He explains that emotions that arise within are separate entities from the self. They are bodily and situational, a result of the body's evolutionary programming to react to external stimuli. The mistake is to identify with these emotions and call them "our" emotions. When we are not clear about our identity, we start calling these emotions our own. The fact is that emotions are quite alien to us; they do not belong to the same place we come from. They are a bodily thing, a situational thing, and a part of Prakriti (Mother Nature). The speaker cautions that expressing emotions amplifies them, creating a vicious cycle that lowers the consciousness of both the individual and their surroundings. For example, expressed anger becomes amplified anger. He describes emotions as Prakriti's preferred instruments to keep one controlled by the agenda of the jungle: to possess, occupy, eat, sleep, procreate, and dominate. We mistakenly believe that expressing emotions, especially to those close to us, is a sign of intimacy. However, this often involves sharing worthless things like lies and toxicity, which is an unjust exploitation of the relationship. Love is not about sharing your rubbish but about helping the other person rise. Acharya Prashant clarifies that the goal is not to be unemotional but to avoid slavery to emotions. He provides two examples involving Shri Krishna. In the Mahabharata, Shri Krishna's display of anger is for the higher purpose of making Arjun fight for Dharma. This expression is auspicious and welcome because it is aligned with a higher purpose. Similarly, the tears of Meera are not from human weakness or material loss but are dedicated to Krishna, turning her into a revered figure. The key is to be discreet and mindful. Before expressing an emotion, one must ask if they are the master of the emotion or if the emotion is mastering them. If you are the master, let the emotion flow. If the emotion has taken control, it is better to step back. One should only express what leads to their own and others' welfare. Let your emotions follow your purpose and serve your wisdom.
