Learn to control also your emotions
The awakened state requires vigilant self-management through the coordination of thought, emotion, and action. Many struggle to harmonize these elements, leading to inner discord. The purpose of dedicated spiritual practice is to learn this self-control and to recharge one's entire being. However, a common failure occurs when individuals quickly lapse into spiritual inattention, negating the intended purpose of their effort. This highlights the critical need for sustained, conscious application rather than brief, passive attendance. True awakening demands continuous inner observation and discipline. Without this, one remains asleep.
"Thoughts, emotion, action—these all should be coordinated. Otherwise, we will be in trouble."
"Many who come here, after one day, become unconscious. Why are they here?"
