So many emotional states during the day; we are conscious of thoughts and feelings; to be master of our states; to be in an optimal enduring state of blessing; we are friends by nature; be what you are; to know your own spirit and heart; self mastership; Vedanta philosophy; through the messenger, the teacher; to set yourself free; to understand the own energies; the universe in the beginning and the three qualities; being, doing, inactivity; moods / states – vows which attach us; attachment, the three qualities pull us away from our nature; each of us is a mixture of these properties; Gunas – Tamas, Raias, Sattva.
Clarity, over-activity, ignorance; there is only one of these properties in action; to look inside, observe and realize in which state we are most of the time; these moods define us or break us apart; cleanness and egoism, the bad consciousness and reparation; to know and understand the moods gives energy to change your whole life; the key to beauty and truth; to balance the moods; to be truly in us, beyond tendencies; to surrender the attachments, the moods will change anyhow; Yoga, Vedanta is for true yogis.
To change ourselves to shift the energies of Tamas, to Rajas in Sattva; from inactivity to activity to openness; to move the spirit slowly to the next stages; discover, be curious, try it; the state of silence and peace is always possible; to be honest with yourself; to understand the three qualities of the inner state really; the change of energy; a practical exercise with true feeling and motivation; the brain and circuit of neurons; no affirmation; the region where the negative emotion sat; to fill with positive emotion
