Control Your Emotions

A spiritual discourse on transforming loneliness and resolving marital conflict through inner purification.

"Be happy you are alone, that you have time to meditate."

"A man who raises his hand on his wife has raised his hand on the entire universe, never."

The speaker addresses the audience, reframing solitude as a blessing for meditation and analyzing the root causes of domestic strife. He describes common patterns of quarreling, condemns physical aggression as a sign of spiritual underdevelopment, and prescribes remedies like shared singing, prayer, and meditation to purify inner impurities and create harmony.

Recording location: Australia, World Peace Tour 2004

Do not say you are lonely; do not say no one loves you. Oh, everyone loves you, but you do not love yourself. If you say nobody loves you and you are alone, be happy you are alone, that you have time to meditate. Yes, there is no bothering anymore, because when you are together, then okay—one day, two days good, three days, five days—then it is quarreling, you know. Many who are sitting here, ask them, "How are you?" Husband said this, wife said no; husband said yes, and wife said no; and wife said no, husband said yes. Husband throws the door, wife throws the plates, and finished. These are the many things my disciples always inform me; this is this. And one should never beat the husband. And one should never beat the wife; that is very important. If you are beating, it means you have no control over your emotion. It means you are still in the lower chakras, and you are on a lower planet; you are on a lower development. You are full of aggression in you, aggressivity, and that is not good. So, a man who raises his hand on his wife has raised his hand on the entire universe, never. And the wife who raises this cooking spoon, the big wooden one, on her husband, she has already raised the spoon on the whole universe too. It should not be. Why does this happen? Why does it come? Because inwardly you are not satisfied; inside there are a lot of impurities. And so, purify through actions, through nourishment, through company, through readings, through meditations, through mantras, and through prayers. And through singing. Sing, husband and wife together at home, a nice song, a nice bhajan; listen to that music which you like; go for swimming to be together means something. It is not only physical love; this is something different. Recording location: Australia, World Peace Tour 2004
