USE OF EMOTIONS

We should not waste bhava that bubbles up after a prayer. It should not be allowed to flow through the channel of emotions but should be redirected towards the channel of bhava of that particular tool ( prayer). This is discretion. We should not get entangled into the cause of the emotion and start thinking of only the object that caused the emotion in the first place. Even if you get engrossed or get swept, you should wake up quickly and with awareness leave the object that caused the emotion in the first place and hold on to the emotion itself. Use this force of emotion in sadhana. Use it in naam-smaran. If used with clear understanding, it increases the bhavna or aspiration in naam-smaran.
