Emotion tells us that the ever-increasing life-energy is constantly flowing through us, renewing and revitalising our inner being. Emotion not only sweetens and intensifies our inner life, but also awakens our outer life so it may experience perfection in every field of manifestation.
In emotion there is an eternal creative urge. The creative urge finally has to enter into the God-ideal which is Immortality embodied and Perfection revealed.
Emotion has an inner perception of the divine unity. The knowledge of the intellect secretly loves emotion. The understanding of the mind silently loves emotion. The wisdom of the heart openly and soulfully loves emotion.
We must endeavour to uncover within ourselves the deepest depth of emotion so that we can become the widest channels for the divine expression of beauty, joy, power and truth.
Owing to our confused thinking, we misuse emotion. But emotion is not the confusion of experience. It is the reality that grows in perfection. It is the dynamic fulness of completion.
Emotion is not the victim of frustration. Emotion is not demonstration. It is the inner spontaneous joy through which we express ourselves in the world we live in.
When inspiration and aspiration are supported by our psychic emotion, we come into conscious contact with the Supreme, and the perfect Reality then prevails in and through our outer existence.
The psychic emotion is the fountain of abundance. And with this fountain we enter into the world of revealing thought, fulfilling action and transforming realisation.From:Sri Chinmoy,Beyond Within — A collection of writings 1964-1974, Agni Press, 1975
