Acharya Prashant explains that a common mind is calculative. When this mind wants to show that it is not calculating, that it is being truthful and not speaking in a contrived manner, it becomes emotional. We tend to believe that being emotional means being truthful. The speaker clarifies that when a calculation happens in the conscious mind, a thought arises. When that same thing arises from a deeper level and has a stronger impact, it becomes an emotion. So, we have understood that thought is calculative, it has artificiality, and it seeks to gain something, a profit. But we mistakenly think that if it's not a thought, but something else, then the matter will be true. We have made emotion a substitute for thought. This is why we have a habit of thinking that if someone starts crying in front of us, they must be a truthful person. We see this happening day and night on TV, in movies, and in our homes. Sometimes, we also feel that if we start crying, it must be a very serious matter and we must be truthful. Similarly, if someone speaks in a simple manner, we don't find anything special in it. But if someone shouts with red eyes and a red face, we think the person is honest, otherwise, they wouldn't get so angry. We have accepted that thought is flawed, but we have wrongly accepted emotion as true. We have associated truth with emotion, which is a very false connection. The speaker states that the lines from a song mentioned by the questioner are not emotional lines, but very intelligent lines. They are not sentiments. He explains that emotion has no real status, and there is nothing special in sentiment. Superficial conditioning appears as thought, and deeper conditioning appears as emotion. A slight disturbance is called thought; when the disturbance becomes heavy and takes the body in its grip, it is called emotion. Joy is not an emotion at all. The most important thing to understand is that there is nothing special in emotions or sentiments. He advises to stop taking one's own emotions seriously, and then one will not take others' emotions seriously either. He says to remain calm even in the midst of deep anger, like ice in a fire. The power of an emotion is given by the seriousness you attach to it. Emotion is nothing but a thought that has become visible on the body, like tears or a red face.
