Learn to control also your emotions

A spiritual discourse on the necessity of inner awakening and self-management.

"One who is not Chaitanya is called a sleeping beauty."

"Thoughts, emotion, and action—these all should be coordinated. Otherwise, we will be in trouble."

The speaker emphasizes the need to be inwardly awake (Chaitanya) and to master self-control (nigraha). He details the common human struggles with coordinating thoughts, emotions, and actions, and frames spiritual retreats as vital for recharging energy and relearning self-management, while noting a tendency for attendees to forget this purpose.

Recording location: Hungary, Vep, Summer seminar

We should be inwardly called Chaitanya—awakened. We must be inwardly awake, Chaitanya. One who is not Chaitanya is called a sleeping beauty. Thus, nigraha: observation. Nigra, posmātrāṇām. And inner management, and self-management. It is not a trivial matter. Many people have a problem putting their thoughts in the proper place. Many people have a problem concentrating their attention on a certain thing. Many people have a problem putting things in the right place. Many people cannot coordinate their thoughts, their emotions, and their actions. Many people cannot coordinate their thoughts, their emotions, and their deeds. Many people cannot harmonize their thoughts and emotions. So thoughts, emotion, and action—these all should be coordinated. Otherwise, we will be in trouble. Now, coming here once a year for a long time, for a few days' seminar ... If we come here once a year for a longer time, it is for us a recreation: recharging physical, mental, and spiritual energy, and again learning self-management and self-control. Now, unfortunately, many who come here, after one day they become unconscious of why they are here. --- Recording location: Hungary, Vep, Summer seminar
