Kindle Notes & Highlights
“emotional you” is also the “thinking you” – the way you think is the way you feel.
Whatever calamities happen to us, we have two options – either we can come out of it broken or we can come out of it stronger. This is the choice we have.
In spite of this, so much misery has happened simply because your life energies are functioning compulsively. They are not functioning consciously anymore. They are functioning as a reaction to the situations in which you live. If your inner experience is decided by what is happening outside of you, then your very way of being is bound to be accidental. If you exist here as an accident, you are
always a potential calamity. When you live here as a potential calamity, being joyful is very difficult. That is all that has happened right now.
Love is not a joy; it is a deep, wonderful pain. It is a very deep, tearing, wonderful pain. Everything within you should tear – only then you know what love is. If you felt pleasant, that is not love – it is just convenience.
