Acharya Prashant addresses the question of whether to express or suppress emotions. He begins by stating that the emotions that arise within us are not who we are; they are separate entities. These emotions are bodily and situational phenomena. The body, through evolution, is programmed to react to external conditions and stimuli in certain ways, which leads to these emotions. When we are not clear about our true identity, we start calling these emotions "our emotions." However, emotions are alien to us and do not belong to the same place we come from. They have a great impact on us, making us feel pain, suffering, aggression, jealousy, and attachment. He questions whether we are truly okay with these feelings and if they make us feel great about ourselves in our composed intelligence. The speaker then discusses the consequences of expressing emotions. He explains that expressing an emotion only amplifies it, creating a vicious cycle. For example, expressed anger becomes amplified anger, and expressed attachment becomes multiplied attachment. This is the trick of Mother Nature (Prakriti), whose agenda is not our consciousness or purpose but to keep us controlled through her preferred instruments: emotions. She wants us to do her bidding by feeling emotional. When one person expresses an emotion, it creates a feedback loop, provoking the same emotion in others, which then returns as a stimulus, further increasing the emotionality. This leads to an overall decline in the level of consciousness in both the individual and their surroundings. Acharya Prashant advises being discreet and mindful about what one expresses. He suggests that expression is a relationship with the world, a gift to the other. Therefore, one should question if they want to gift poison, chains, or shackles to others. He contrasts this with love, which is not about sharing one's "crap" but about helping the other person rise and be liberated. He criticizes the common practice in relationships where people share their bottoms, their ugliness, and their infinite nonsense in the name of intimacy. He concludes by advising to express only that which leads to one's own welfare and the welfare of others, and to be extremely careful about the effect one's company has on others, especially loved ones.
