SELF-INQUIRY

To master emotions, it is necessary to find their root stories. This involves analysing your thoughts to separate useful information from neurosis. Emotions grow out of an interpretation of reality that becomes a habit, an impulse. You need to honour the impulse with integrity and this requires conscious action by you to calm your mind to achieve inner peace.

You know that you did everything you could. For example, when you feel sad you believe something bad has happened. It’s an expression of sadness in the face of losing something you valued, which can lead to grieving. This is necessary for us to see the loss from a new perspective which allows us to refocus on the future and then move on.
