=What are Emotions?=
Our emotions are the waves of reaction and response which rise up from the basic consciousness, ''citta-vṛtti''. Their action too is largely regulated by habit and an emotive memory. They are not imperative, not laws of Necessity; there is no really binding law of our emotional being to which we must submit without remedy; we are not obliged to give responses of grief to certain impacts upon the mind, responses of anger to others, to yet others responses of hatred or dislike, to others responses of liking or love. All these things are only habits of our affective mentality; they can be changed by the conscious will of the spirit; they can be inhibited; we may even rise entirely above all subjection to grief, anger, hatred, the duality of liking and disliking. We are subject to these things only so long as we persist in subjection to the mechanical action of the chitta in the emotive mentality, a thing difficult to get rid of because of the power of past habit and especially the importunate insistence of the vital part of mentality, the nervous life-mind or psychic prana. This nature of the emotive mind as a reaction of chitta with a certain close dependence upon the nervous life sensations and the responses of the psychic prana is so characteristic that in some languages it is called chitta and prana, the heart, the life soul; it is indeed the most directly agitating and powerfully insistent action of the desire-soul which the immixture of vital desire and responsive consciousness has created in us. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/24/the-instruments-of-the-spirit#p7</ref> ==What is Higher Vital/Emotional Being?==
<center>~</center>''What is meant by the yogic term "through the heart"? Is it the higher vital?''
The Yes, the emotional being is itself a part of the vital. <ref>httphttps://incarnateword.in/cwsacwm/2817/the-vital-being-and9-vitalmarch-consciousness1935#p25 p3,p4</ref>

The point about nervous part of the emotional and the higher vital being is a rather difficult one. In one classification in which mind portion of the vital—it is taken as something more than the thinking, perceiving and willing intelligencevital physical, the emotional can be reckoned as part of life-force closely enmeshed in the mindreactions, desires, needs, sensations of the body. The vital in the mental. In another classification it proper is rather the most mentalised part of the vital life-force acting in its own nature, impulses, emotions, feelings, desires, ambitions etc. In another classification it is rather having as their highest centre what we may call the most mentalised part outer heart of the vital nature. In the first caseemotion, while there is an inner heart where are the term higher vital is confined to that larger movement of the conscious life-force which is concerned with creation, with power or psychic feelings and force and conquestsensibilities, with giving the emotions and self-giving intuitive yearnings and gathering from impulses of the world for farther action and expenditure soul. The vital part of powerus is, throwing itself out in the wider movements of lifecourse, responsive necessary to the greater objects of Nature. In the second arrangementour completeness, the emotional being stands at the top of the vital nature but it is a true instrument only when its feelings and tendencies have been purified by the two together make the higher vital. As against them stands the lower vital which is concerned with the pettier movements of action psychic touch and desire taken up and stretches down into the vital physical where it supports governed by the life of the more external activities spiritual light and all physical sensations, hungers, cravings, satisfactionspower. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/28/the-vital-being-and-vital-consciousness#p11p34</ref>
==What are the Different Parts of Our Emotional Nature?==<center>~</center>
The experience of the difference between your inner feelings and your surface reactions shows that you are becoming aware of different parts of your nature which each have their own character. In fact each human being higher vital movement is composed of different personalities that feel and behave in a different way more refined and his action is determined by the one that happens to be prominent at the time. The one that has no feelings against anyone is either the psychic being or the emotional being large in the heart, the one motion than that feels anger and is severe is a part of the external ordinary vital nature on the surface. This anger and severity is a wrong form of something that in itself has a value, a certain strength of will It stresses emotion rather than sensation and force of action and control in the vital beingdesire, without which work cannot be done. What but it is necessary is to get rid of the anger and to keep the force and firm will along with a developed judgment as to what is the right thing to do in any circumstances. For instance, people can be allowed to do things in their own way when that does not spoil the work, when it is only their way of doing what is necessary to be done; when their way is opposed to the discipline of the work, then they have to be controlled, but it should be done quietly free from demand and kindly, not with anger. Very often, if one has developed a silent power of putting the Mother's force on the work with one's own will as instrument, that by itself may be sufficient without having to say anything as the person changes his way desire of himself as if by his own initiativepossession. <ref>httphttps://incarnateword.in/cwsa/2931/practicalthe-concernsnature-inof-the-workvital#p21p50</ref>
==What is Higher Vital?==<center>~</center>
…the term higher vital is confined to that larger movement of the conscious life-force which is concerned with creation, with power and force and conquest, with giving and self-giving and gathering from the world for farther action and expenditure of power, throwing itself out in the wider movements of life, responsive to the greater objects of Nature. In the second arrangement, the emotional being stands at the top of the vital nature and the two together make the higher vital. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/28/the-vital-being-and-vital-consciousness#p11</ref>

The heart This higher vital with all its parts is situated in the chest and has the cardiac centre of the emotional being, the highest as its main stronghold governing all this part of down to the vital. The navel is the centre of the dynamic and sensational vital (this is the source of pride, sense of possession, ambition, anger and other passions—but it expresses them of ten through the heart centre). <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/28/the-systemvital-ofbeing-theand-vital-chakrasconsciousness#p64p16</ref>
=The Role of Emotional Being in Yoga=<center>~</center>
In the ascetic Yoga all human feelings are regarded as illusory and have to disappear—"the knots of ...the heart are cut"—so as to leave only the one supreme aspirationcentre... In this Yoga The functions are… commanding the higher emotional being has not to be got rid of, but to undergo a transformation; with the shortest way of transformation is to turn all the being to the Divine. psychic deep behind it…<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/3128/humanthe-relationssystem-andof-the-spiritual-lifechakras#p11p20</ref>

Emotion The heart is necessary in the Yoga centre of the emotional being and it is only the excessive emotional sensitiveness which makes one enter into despondency over small things that has to be overcomeemotions are vital movements. The very basis of this Yoga When the heart is bhakti and if one kills one's emotional being there can be no bhakti. So there can be no possibility of emotion being excluded from purified, the Yogavital emotions change into psychic feelings or else psychicised vital movements. <ref>httphttps://incarnateword.in/cwsa/2928/bhaktithe-vital-being-and-devotionvital-worshipconsciousness#p7p27</ref>
==For Having a Yogic Attitude in All ThingsThe Difference between Psychic and Emotional Being ==
"As ...you say, it is must not mistake the failure of feelings for the right attitude that comes in the way of passing through ordeals to a change of naturepsychic... The pressure is becoming greater now for this change of character even more than for decisive Yoga experience—for if the experience comes, it fails to be decisive because of the want of the requisite change of nature—these two are absolutely different things. The mindPeople always think that when they have emotions, for instancefeelings, gets they are entering the experience of psychic. These things have nothing to do with the One in allpsychic, but the they are purely vital cannot follow, because it is dominated by ego-reaction and ego-motive or the habits of the outer nature keep up a way of thinking, feeling, acting, living which is quite out of harmony with the experience. Or They are the psychic and most subtle part of the mind and emotional being feel frequently the closeness of the Mothervital, if you like, but the rest of the nature is unoffered and goes its own way prolonging the division from her nearness, creating distancethey are vital. It is because 's not through the Sadhaks have never even tried feelings that one goes to have the Yogic attitude in all thingspsychic, they have been contented with the common ideas, common view of things, common motives of life, only varied by inner experiences and transferred to the framework of the Asram instead of that of the world outside. It it is not enough through a very intense aspiration and there is great need that this should changea self-detachment. <ref>httphttps://incarnateword.in/agendacwm/1007/27-july-23-19691955#p78p7</ref>
==For Collaborating and Surrendering of Lower Vital==<center>~</center>
Yes, The centre of the higher vital is usually much less difficult to surrender, for it psychic being is under behind the influence centre of the mind and at times even of the psychicemotional being; so it understands more easily. It is much easier to convert this than the lower vital which emotional that is essentially nearest dynamically to the vital of desires psychic and impulses. So, you see, what he means in most men it is through the emotional centre that the lower vital psychic can submit, be most easily reached and through the psychicised emotion that it agrees to obey, to do what it is asked, but it is not at all satisfiedcan be most easily expressed. It is not happyMany therefore mistake the one for the other; sometimes it even suffers; it pushes its revolt down into itself through obedience, but it does not collaboratethere is a world of difference between the two. And unless the The emotions normally are vital collaborates with joy in their character and true love, nothing can be done; not part of the transformations cannot comepsychic nature. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwmcwsa/0628/7the-julyvital-being-and-vital-1954consciousness#p9p12</ref>

If Emotion belongs to the heart centre is dominated by the physical mind to any extenthigher vital, it will necessarily be open not to the outer attacks pure psychic. The psychic is a steady flame that affect burns in you, soaring towards the physical Divine and nervous consciousnesscarrying with it a sense of strength which breaks down all oppositions. The heart has to be in connection When you are identified with it you have the psychic and feeling of the divine truth—then you cannot help feeling also that the whole world is ignorantly walking on its head with its feet in the higher consciousness. air! <ref>httphttps://incarnateword.in/cwsacwm/2803/the-systemordinary-life-ofand-the-chakrastrue-soul#p62p4</ref>
==For Peace== <center>~</center>
When you are …this inmost soul, that is, the central psychic being, influences the superficial parts of the consciousness (superficial in connection comparison with it: mental parts, vital parts). The purest mind, the higher worlds above highest vital, the mentalemotive being—the soul influences them, with influences them to an extent where one has the mental and the psychic or even impression of entering into contact with some it through these parts of the higher vital planes, then there is being. So people take these parts for the peace soul and Ananda—but connection with that is why he says "the lower vital worlds can easily bring disturbance and unrestinmost soul", so long as your vital itself that is not changed and made full of peace and strength and quiet, the central soul, the real soul. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/inner-experience-and-outer-life#p12</ref>
=How to Bring Forward For very often, when one touches certain parts of the Emotional Being mind which are under the psychic influence and full of light and the joy of that light, or when one touches certain very pure and very high parts of the emotive being which has the most generous, most unselfish emotions, one also has the impression of being in contact with one's soul. But this is not the true soul, it is not the soul in its very essence. These are parts of the being under its influence and Higher Vital?=manifesting something of it.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/07/3-august-1955#p9</ref>
==Methods The Role of Strengthening the Emotional Being =in Yoga=
===Concentration & Aspiration In the ascetic Yoga all human feelings are regarded as illusory and have to disappear—"the knots of the heart are cut"—so as to leave only the one supreme aspiration. In this Yoga the emotional being has not to be got rid of, but to undergo a transformation; the shortest way of transformation is to turn all the being to the Divine. But when that is done, then it is found that what is pure and true in any human relation survives, but with a rich and subtle change, or else new relations are established that come straight from the Divine. <ref>http://incarnateword.in /cwsa/31/human-relations-and-the Heart===-spiritual-life#p11</ref>
Another method is concentration and aspiration in the heart which opens the inner emotional being… But whatever method is used will not bring its effect at once; it must be done persistently, simply, directly till it succeeds. … If one can get rid of them in their central action, the survival of their activity in the circumference does not so much matter; for then the opening becomes possible, both to make and to keep and the rest can follow. <refcenter>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/time-and-change-of-the-nature#p10~</refcenter>
===Quiet & Calm===Emotion is necessary in the Yoga and it is only the excessive emotional sensitiveness which makes one enter into despondency over small things that has to be overcome. The very basis of this Yoga is bhakti and if one kills one's emotional being there can be no bhakti. So there can be no possibility of emotion being excluded from the Yoga. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/bhakti-devotion-worship#p7</ref>
What you have <center>~</center> If the heart centre is dominated by the physical mind to any extent, it will necessarily be open to aspire for and bring down in you is the peace of outer attacks that affect the Mother's physical and nervous consciousness. Peace, calm, equanimity The heart has to be in connection with the emotional being psychic and the rest of the vital especially—it is that which will purify the emotions and deliver the vitalhigher consciousness. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/3128/the-naturesystem-of-the-vitalchakras#p67p62</ref>
<center>~</center>
Always get back to quietude. It When you are in connection with the higher worlds above the mental, with the mental and the psychic or even with some of the higher vital planes, then there is through the quietude that peace and Ananda—but connection with the right attitude lower vital worlds can easily bring disturbance and unrest, so long as your vital itself is not changed and made full of peace and understanding strength and movements come backquiet.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/2930/quietinner-experience-and-calmouter-life#p24p12</ref>
<center>~</center>
It [peace] has to be brought down ... approach made by the soul to the direct contact is through the heart : this is its own more close and navel first. That gives rapid way because its occult seat is there, just behind in the heart-centre, in close contact with the emotional being in us; it is consequently through the emotions that it a certain kind can act best at the beginning with its native power, with its living force of inner stability—though not absoluteconcrete experience. There It is no method other than aspiration, through a strong quiet will love and a rejection adoration of the All-beautiful and All-blissful, the All-Good, the True, the spiritual Reality of all love, that the approach is not turned towards made; the aesthetic and emotional parts join together to offer the soul, the life, the whole nature to that which they worship. This approach through adoration can get its full power and impetus only when the mind goes beyond impersonality to the awareness of a supreme Personal Being: then all becomes intense, vivid, concrete; the heart's emotion, feeling, spiritualised sense reach their absolute; an entire self-giving becomes possible, imperative. The nascent spiritual man makes his appearance in the emotional nature as the devotee, the Divine bhakta; if, in those addition, he becomes directly aware of his soul and its dictates, unites his emotional with his psychic personality and changes his life and vital parts by purity, God-ecstasy, the love of God and men and all creatures into a thing of spiritual beauty, full of divine light and good, he develops into which you call the peace—here saint and reaches the highest inner experience and most considerable change of nature proper to this way of approach to the Divine Being. But for the purpose of an integral transformation this too is not enough; there must be a transmutation of the emotional thinking mind and higher all the vitaland physical parts of consciousness in their own character. <ref>httphttps://incarnateword.in/cwsa/3022/the-descent-of-the-highertriple-powerstransformation#p18p15</ref>
===Going Deep Within=To Find the Psychic Being==
It Man, because he is a mental being, is quite true that by going above one can get out prone to give the highest importance to the thinking mind and its reason and will and to its way of approach and effectuation of all problemsTruth and, for they no longer existeven, but the problems are he is inclined to hold that there below is no other. The heart with its emotions and it incalculable movements is difficult to the eye of his intellect an obscure, uncertain and often a perilous and misleading power which needs to be always above with so much unsolved kept in control by the reason and the mental will and calling for solutionintelligence. But just as one can go high aboveAnd yet there is in the heart or behind it a profounder mystic light which, if not what we call intuition,—for that, though not of the mind, so one can go deep within yet descends through the mind—has yet a direct touch upon Truth and it is this going deep within that is needednearer to the Divine than the human intellect in its pride of knowledge...Once one reaches itAccording to the ancient teaching the seat of the immanent Divine, the hidden Purusha, these things can no longer touch; what will be there is in the inner peace and happinessmystic heart,—the secret heart-cave, ''hṛdaye guhāyām'',as the Upanishads put it,—and, according to the untroubled aspirationexperience of many Yogins, it is from its depths that there comes the presence voice or nearness the breath of the Motherinner oracle. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/2923/bhaktithe-ascent-of-the-devotionsacrifice-worshipi#p9p16</ref>
===The Perfection of Equality===<center>~</center>
Equality means a quiet and unmoved mind and vital; it means not to be touched or disturbed by things that happen or things The true soul secret in us—subliminal, we have said or done to you , but to look at them with a straight lookthe word is misleading, for this presence is not situated below the threshold of waking mind, free from but rather burns in the temple of the inmost heart behind the distortions created by personal feelingthick screen of an ignorant mind, life and to try to understand what is body, not subliminal but behind them, why they happenthe veil, what —this veiled psychic entity is to be learnt from themthe flame of the Godhead always alight within us, what inextinguishable even by that dense unconsciousness of any spiritual self within which obscures our outward nature. It is it in oneself which they are cast against and what inner profit or progress one can make a flame born out of them; it means self-mastery over the vital movementsDivine and, anger and sensitiveness and pride as well as desire and luminous inhabitant of the restIgnorance, not grows in it till it is able to let them get hold of turn it towards the Knowledge. It is the emotional being concealed Witness and disturb Control, the inner peacehidden Guide, not to speak and act in the rush and impulsion Daemon of these thingsSocrates, always to act and speak out of a calm the inner light or inner poise voice of the spiritmystic. It is not easy that which endures and is imperishable in us from birth to have this equality in any full and perfect measurebirth, untouched by death, decay or corruption, but one should always try more and more to make it an indestructible spark of the basis of one's inner state and outer movementsDivine. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/2921/equalitythe-double-thesoul-chiefin-supportman#p6p10</ref>
<center>~</center>
A free heart The psychic being is similarly a in the heart delivered from centre in the gusts and storms middle of the affections and the passions; the assailing touch of grief, wrath, hatred, fear, inequality of love, trouble of joy, pain of sorrow fall away from chest (not in the equal physical heart, and leave it a thing large, calm, equal, luminous, divine... When we live in unity with for all the Divine centres are in ourselves and the spirit middle of the universebody), these imperfections fall but it is deep behind. When one is going away from us and disappear in the calm and equal strength and delight vital into the psychic, it is felt as if one is going deep deep down till one reaches that central place of the inner spiritual existencepsychic... By equality The surface of the heart we get away from centre is the troubled desire-soul on the surface, open place of the gates of this profounder being, bring out its responses and impose their true divine values on all that solicits our emotional being; from there one goes deep to find the psychic. A freeThe more one goes, happy, equal and all-embracing heart of spiritual feeling is the outcome of this perfectionmore intense becomes the psychic happiness... <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/2430/the-perfectionpsychic-being-ofand-its-role-in-equalitysadhana#p7p17 </ref>

Outer difficulties or inconveniences you should not allow Affection, love, tenderness are in their nature psychic,—the vital has them because the psychic is trying to alarm or depress youexpress itself through the vital. It is through the emotional being that the psychic most easily expresses, for it stands just behind it in the heart centre. Inner difficulties should also But it wants these things to be met pure. Not that it rejects the outward expression through the vital and the physical, but as the psychic being is the form of the soul, it naturally feels the attraction of soul to soul, the nearness of soul to soul the union of soul with detachmentsoul are the things that are to it most abiding and concrete. Mind, vital, body are means of expression and very precious means of expression, but the inner life is for the soul the first thing, the deepest reality, and these have to be subordinated to it and conditioned by it, calm equalityits expression, its instruments and channel… The emphasis on the unshakable will mastery of the vital, its subordination and subjection to conquerthe spiritual and the psychic is also nothing new, strange or exorbitant. It has been insisted on always for any kind of spiritual life; even the Yogas which seek most to use the vital, like certain forms of Vaishnavism, yet insist on the purification and the total offering of it to the Divine—and the relations with the Divine are an inner realisation, the soul offering itself through the emotional being. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/desirehuman-relations-and-the-spiritual-life#p55p7 </ref>
===Refusal & Rejection of Adverse Forces==How to Bring Forward the Emotional Being/Higher Vital?=
This confusion heart and psychic being of man shot through with the threads of the life instincts is a thing of mixed inconstant colours of emotion and soul vibrations, bad and good, happy and unhappy, satisfied and unsatisfied, troubled and calm, intense and dull. Thus agitated and invaded it is unacquainted with any real peace, incapable of a steady perfection of mind all its powers. By purification, by equality, by the light of knowledge, by a harmonising of the will it can be brought to a tranquil intensity and perfection. The first two elements of this perfection are on one side a high and large sweetness, openness, gentleness, calm, clarity, on the other side a strong and ardent force and vital you must get rid of—you must call intensity. In the divine no less than in ordinary human character and action there are always two strands, sweetness and strength, mildness and force, saumya and raudra, the true reason force that bears and harmonises, the higher vital to cast out these movementsforce that imposes itself and compels, Vishnu and Ishana, Shiva and Rudra. A higher reason must refuse The two are equally necessary to listen to its selfa perfect world-justifications action. The perversions of the Rudra power in the heart are stormy passion, wrath and fierceness and tell it that nothingharshness, however plausiblehardness, can justify these motives in a sadhak; your higher vital must refuse to accept them [hostile services]brutality, telling itcruelty, "I do not want these alien things; I do not recognise them as part egoistic ambition and love of myself or my natureviolence and domination. These and other human perversions have to be got rid of by the flowering of a calm, clear and sweet psychical being." <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/3124/attacksthe-power-byof-the-hostile-forcesinstruments#p17p10</ref>
<center>~</center>
It is always their [And yet the lower forces'] endeavour to rise up and get true emotive soul, the sanction real psyche in us, is not a desire-soul, but a soul of the mind pure love and higher vital—or if they cannot do delight; but that, to cover them up so that like the lower nature may act in its ordinary way without rest of our true being pressed , can only emerge when the deformation created by the higher consciousness to change. The first thing necessary for life of desire is removed from the sadhak surface and is not to give any consent no longer the characteristic action of his mind or higher vital and to keep them from our being covered. If To get that can be doneis a necessary part of our purification, liberation, then it becomes possible to push the lower forces out of the lower vital and body and not allow them to returnperfection. It is the Mother's Force which you feel—for all the higher forces are hers.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/3124/stepsthe-towardsinstruments-overcomingof-the-difficultiesspirit#p53p7</ref>

In fact each human being is composed of different personalities that feel and behave in a different way and his action is determined by the one that happens to be prominent at the time. The first thing one that has no feelings against anyone is for either the mind psychic being or the emotional being in the heart, the one that feels anger and also is severe is a part of the higher external vital nature on the surface. This anger and severity is a wrong form of something that in itself has a value, a certain strength of will and force of action and control in the vital being, without which work cannot be done. What is necessary is to withdraw get rid of the anger and to keep the force and firm will along with a developed judgment as to what is the right thing to do in any circumstances. For instance, people can be allowed to do things in their consent altogether; if own way when that does not spoil the work, when it is only their way of doing what is necessary to be done; when their way is opposed to the discipline of the work, then they have to be controlled, but it becomes only should be done quietly and kindly, not with anger. Very often, if one has developed a mechanical return from outside silent power of putting the Mother's force on the physical and finally only an active memory which work with one's own will disappear when it is able as instrument, that by itself may be sufficient without having to find no welcome in any part say anything as the person changes his way of the naturehimself as if by his own initiative. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/3129/sexpractical-concerns-in-work#p99p21</ref>

It The heart is not however a fact that part of the whole nature vital—it has to be emptied of the old things before there can be the Light and Grace. It is done usually controlled in different parts of the nature at different times. You had your former experiences because same way as the mind and higher vital were sufficiently emptied and quiet to receive some experiences rest, by rejection of a new consciousness. Now it is the physical mindwrong movements, physical vital and body that have to be emptied—these always take longer than the others because by acceptance of the physical is more full of old habits, more obstinate in keeping true psychic surrender which prevents all demand and always repeating themclamour, more slow to receive anything new or to change. But by calling in the detachment higher light and steady rejection and reliance on knowledge. It is not usually however the Mother's force, this obstinacy can be overcome heart that bothers about mental questions and the cup emptied for filling with the Divine Lightanswer to them. <ref>httphttps://incarnateword.in/cwsa/3028/emptinessthe-voidnessvital-blanknessbeing-and-silencevital-consciousness#p13p28</ref>
===Purification ===<center>~</center>
I told you also at that time that there was There must be implanted and activised in all our doings a third part supreme, impersonal, unfaltering and unstumbling will in spontaneous and untroubled unison with the will of the nature, the inner being (inner mind, inner vital, inner physical) Divine. The unsatisfying surface play of which you were not yet aware, but which our feeble egoistic emotions must be ousted and there must also open in time. It is this be revealed instead a secret deep and vast psychic heart within that has happened in your last experience. What you felt as a part of youwaits behind them for its hour; all our feelings, yourself but not your physical self, rising to meet the higher consciousness above, was impelled by this inner being; it was your (inner) higher vital being heart in which rose in that way to join dwells the highest Self above—and it was able to do soDivine, because the work will be transmuted into calm and intense movements of purifying the outer vital nature had begun in earnest. Each time there is a purification twin passion of the outer nature, it becomes more possible for the inner being to reveal itself, to become free divine Love and to open to the higher consciousness abovemanifold Ananda. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/3023/self-surrender-in-works-the-psychicway-andof-spiritualthe-realisationsgita#p15p4</ref>

Love and hatredIt is the inner offering of the heart's adoration, hope and fear, grief and joy all have their founts the soul of it in this one source. We likethe symbol, love, welcome, hope for, joy the spirit of it in whatever our naturethe act, that is the first habit very life of our beingthe sacrifice. If this offering is to be complete and universal, or else then a formed (often perverse) habit, the second nature turning of all our being, presents emotions to the mind as pleasant, priyam; we hate, dislike, fear, have repulsion from or grief of whatever it presents to us as unpleasant, ''apriyam''Divine is imperative. This habit is the intensest way of purification for the emotional nature gets human heart, more powerful than any ethical or aesthetic catharsis could ever be by its half-power and superficial pressure. A psychic fire within must be lit into which all is thrown with the way of Divine Name upon it. In that fire all the intelligent will emotions are compelled to cast off their grosser elements and those that are undivine perversions are burned away and makes it often the others discard their insufficiencies, till a helpless slave spirit of the emotional being or at least prevents it from exercising largest love and a free judgment and government stainless divine delight arises out of the nature@165@ flame and smoke and frankincense. This deformation has It is the divine love which so emerges that, extended in inward feeling to be corrected.

But then if this is doneThis faith, it may be thought, as with regard to desire''kalyāṇa-śraddhā'', is needed in order that this will be the death of heart and the emotional whole overt psychic beingmay respond to the secret divine Ananda and change itself into this true original essence.This faith and will must be accompanied by and open into an illimitable widest and intensest capacity for love.. Then too For the right activity main business of the heart can be brought , its true function is love. It is our destined instrument of complete union and oneness; for to see oneness in the surface; for world by the understanding is not enough unless we find then that behind also feel it with the heart and in the psychic being, and this emotion-ridden soul of desire there was waiting means a delight in the One and in all existences in the while world in him, a soul love of love God and lucid joy all beings. The heart's faith and delight, will in good are founded on a pure psyche, which was clouded over by perception of the deformations of anger, fear, hatred, repulsion one Divine immanent in all things and could not embrace leading the world with an impartial . The universal love and joy. But has to be founded on the purified heart is rid 's sight and psychical and emotional sense of angerthe one Divine, rid the one Self in all existence. All four elements will then form a unity and even the Rudra power to do battle for the right and the good proceed on the basis of fear, rid a power of hatred, rid of every shrinking and repulsion: it has a universal love, it can receive with an untroubled sweetness and clarity the various delight which God gives it in the world. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/24/purificationthe-power-of-the-lower-mentalityinstruments#p8 p12</ref>
=The Lower Vital Nature==By Peace and Quietude===
Evidently, the condition into which you have fallen is due Always get back to an upsurging of suppressed elements in the lower vital naturequietude. It has been compelled by is through the quietude that the mind right attitude and understanding and movements come back. It is natural for the higher lower vital part in you to give be made up the little "joys of feelings, impulses and desires and pleasures" to which it was habituated, but it—or at any rate the subconscient be attached to outer things—but that is only a part of it which you. There is often also the most powerful—did that without entire conviction psychic and probably with "reservations" the higher mind and "safeguards" higher vital which only need quietude and in exchange for a promise the help of compensations, other the Force and greater joys Peace behind them to come forward more strongly and pleasures to replace all it was losing. This is evident from what you write; your description of the nature of dominate over the depression, the return of what you call impure thoughts which are merely indices of the subconscient lower vital desire-complex, the doubt thrown upon the generosity of the Divine, the demand for compensation for losses, something like striking a bargain with the Divine, a quid pro quo pact, are all unmistakable. Latterly, there has been a combination of circumstances (X's turning inwards, Y's emigration etc.) which have rather suddenly increased the deprivation of its former outlets; this attack is its way of non-cooperation or protest. There is only one way and help to deal with change it,—to cast the whole thing away—depression, demands, doubts, sex-thoughts, the whole undesirable baggage,—and have in its place the one true movement, the call for the true consciousness and the presence of the Divine. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/3129/thequiet-lower-vitaland-beingcalm#p43p24</ref>
==The Difficulty of Lower Vital Forces==<center>~</center>
This lower part of It [peace] has to be brought down to the being is always random, wayward, self-assertive heart and unwilling to accept the imposition on navel first. That gives it a certain kind of any order and discipline inner stability—though not absolute. There is no method other than its own idea or impulse. Its defects even from the beginning stand in the way of the efforts of the higher vital to impose on the nature aspiration, a truly regenerating tapasya. This habit of disobedience strong quiet will and disregard a rejection of discipline all that is so strong that it does not always need to be deliberate; turned towards the response to it seems to be immediate, irresistible and instinctive. Thus obedience to Divine in those parts into which you call the Mother is repeatedly promised or professed, but the action done or the course followed is frequently peace—here the very opposite of the profession or promise. This constant indiscipline is a radical obstacle to the sadhana emotional and the worst possible example to othershigher vital. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/3130/the-lowerdescent-of-the-vitalhigher-beingpowers#p8p18</ref>

It was the soul within, first is quite true that by going above one can get out of allproblems, for they no longer exist, but the problems are there below and through it the higher mind is difficult to be always above with so much unsolved and the higher vitalcalling for solution. Why then find fault with the Divine for misleading you when But just as one can go high above, so one can go deep within and it turned you to the Yoga or brought you here? It is this going deep within that is needed. What happened was simply answering to at the demand surface of your own inner the emotional being and if one simply stays there the higher parts difficulties of your nature. If you have so much difficulty and become restlessthe emotional can come, it is because you are still divided and something in your lower vital still regrets but what it has lost or, as a price for its adhesion or a compensation—a price to be immediately paid down done is not to it,—asks for something similar and equivalent in stay on the spiritual lifesurface but go deep within. It refuses to believe that For the psychic is there is a greater compensationbehind the emotional surface, a larger vital life waiting for deep behind the heart centre. Once one reaches it in which , these things can no longer touch; what will be there shall not be is the old inadequacy inner peace and unrest and final dissatisfaction. The foolishness is not in the Divine guidancehappiness, but in the irrational and obstinate resistance of this confused and obscure part of you to the demanduntroubled aspiration, made not only by this Yoga, but by all Yoga—to the necessary conditions for the satisfaction presence or nearness of the aspiration of your own soul and higher natureMother.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/bhakti-yoga-anddevotion-vaishnavismworship#p29p9</ref>
==Dealing with =By Concentration and Aspiration in the Hostile AttacksHeart===
In the lower vital all But it is better because if you concentrate there [in theheart], deeply enough, it is a working of general forces which try to seize upon there that you enter into contact with the individual and use him psychic for their satisfactionthe first time; they are not his forces at allwhile if you concentrate in the head you have to pass later from the head to the heart to be able to identify yourself with the psychic being. In the mind or And if you concentrate by gathering the higher vital energies, it is much easier better to establish some kind gather them here, because it is in this centre, in this region of control over the forces. That is being that you find the very reason why one should never put oneself into will to progress, the control force of these forces or make oneself a free crossways for their passagepurification, and the most intense and effective aspiration. It The aspiration that comes from the heart is only by opening to much more effective than that from the Mother's force alone that a control can be established over these lower workingshead. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsacwm/3106/the3-lowernovember-vital-being1954#p41p8</ref>

There has been progress in all these parts [must be a flaming concentration of the being], but they seem to be subject still to a response to heart on the suggestions seeking of the hostile forces. Everybody gets these suggestionsAll and Eternal and, but they ought not to be allowed to enter insidewhen once we have found him, especially a deep plunging and immersion in the heart, or to be accepted by possession and ecstasy of the vitalAll-Beautiful. Evidently, they enter through There must be a strong and immovable concentration of the physical mind (from will on the throat upwards means attainment and fulfilment of all that) and affect the surface vital Divine is and emotional being. You must get the power to reject them from there by a constant and steady denial free and refusal plastic opening of their suggestions. So long as anything it to all that he intends to manifest in you says "yes" or accepts, there is always the possibility of a returnus. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/3123/attacks-by-the-hostileself-forcesconsecration#p28p18</ref>
=The Difference between Psychic and Emotional Being =<center>~</center>
Emotion belongs to Another method is concentration and aspiration in the heart which opens the higher vitalinner emotional being… But whatever method is used will not bring its effect at once; it must be done persistently, simply, not to the pure psychicdirectly till it succeeds. The psychic If it is done with a steady flame that burns in you, soaring towards the Divine and carrying with mind of doubt or watching it as an experiment to see if it succeeds or if it is continually crossed by a sense spirit of strength which breaks down hasty despondency saying constantly, "You see it is all oppositions. When you are identified with useless," then it you have ought to be obvious that the feeling of the divine truth—then you cannot help feeling also opening will be very difficult, because there is that the whole world clogging it every time there is ignorantly walking on its head with its feet in the air! a pressure or a push to open. <ref>httpshttp://incarnateword.in/cwmcwsa/0331/thetime-ordinaryand-lifechange-andof-the-true-soulnature#p4p10</ref>

…this inmost soul, that What you have to aspire for and bring down in you is, the central psychic being, influences the superficial parts peace of the Mother's consciousness (superficial in comparison with it: mental parts, vital parts). The purest mindPeace, the highest vitalcalm, equanimity in the emotive being—the soul influences them, influences them to an extent where one has emotional being and the impression of entering into contact with it through these parts rest of the being. So people take these parts for the soul and that vital especially—it is why he says "the inmost soul", that is, which will purify the central soul, emotions and deliver the real soulvital. <ref>httphttps://incarnateword.in/cwmcwsa/0731/3the-nature-augustof-1955the-vital#p9p69</ref>
<center>~</center>===By Equality===
The surface Equality means a quiet and unmoved mind and vital; it means not to be touched or disturbed by things that happen or things said or done to you but to look at them with a straight look, free from the distortions created by personal feeling, and to try to understand what is behind them, why they happen, what is to be learnt from them, what is it in oneself which they are cast against and what inner profit or progress one can make out of them; it means self-mastery over the heart centre is vital movements, anger and sensitiveness and pride as well as desire and the place rest, not to let them get hold of the emotional being; from there one goes deep and disturb the inner peace, not to find speak and act in the psychicrush and impulsion of these things, always to act and speak out of a calm inner poise of the spirit. The It is not easy to have this equality in any full and perfect measure, but one should always try more one goes, the and more intense becomes to make it the psychic happiness which you describebasis of one's inner state and outer movements. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/3029/equality-the-psychic-being-and-its-role-inchief-sadhanasupport#p17 p6</ref>

It A free heart is through similarly a heart delivered from the gusts and storms of the affections and the passions; the assailing touch of grief, wrath, hatred, fear, inequality of love, trouble of joy, pain of sorrow fall away from the equal heart, and leave it a thing large, calm, equal, luminous, divine. These things are not incumbent on the emotional essential nature of our being that , but the creations of the present make of our outward active mental and vital nature and its transactions with its surroundings. The ego-sense which induces us to act as separate beings who make their isolated claim and experience the test of the values of the psychic most easily expressesuniverse, is responsible for these aberrations. When we live in unity with the Divine in ourselves and the spirit of the universe, these imperfections fall away from us and disappear in the calm and equal strength and delight of the inner spiritual existence. Always that is within us and transforms the outward touches before they reach it stands just behind it by a passage through a subliminal psychic soul in us which is the hidden instrument of its delight of being. By equality of the heart we get away from the troubled desire-soul on the surface, open the gates of this profounder being, bring out its responses and impose their true divine values on all that solicits our emotional being. A free, happy, equal and all-embracing heart centreof spiritual feeling is the outcome of this perfection.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/3124/humanthe-relationsperfection-and-the-spiritualof-lifeequality#p7 </ref>
=Role ==By Refusal and Rejection of PsychicAdverse Forces===
And yet There has been progress in all these parts [''of the true emotive soul, the real psyche in us, is not a desire-soulbeing''], but they seem to be subject still to a soul response to the suggestions of pure love and delight; the hostile forces. Everybody gets these suggestions, but thatthey ought not to be allowed to enter inside, like especially in the rest of our true beingheart, can only emerge when or to be accepted by the deformation created by vital. Evidently, they enter through the life of desire is removed physical mind (from the throat upwards means that) and affect the surface vital and is no longer the characteristic action of our emotional being. To You must get that done is the power to reject them from there by a necessary part constant and steady denial and refusal of our purificationtheir suggestions.

It [the psychic] can have a very great influence [on the physical This confusion of mind] by giving it and vital you must get rid of—you must call in the right attitude true reason and the right way of looking at things so higher vital to cast out these movements. A higher reason must refuse to listen to its self-justifications and tell it that it supports the emotional being nothing, however plausible, can justify these motives in its aspirationa sadhak; your higher vital must refuse to accept them [adverse forces], love and surrender and itself gets interesttelling it, faith and insight in the inner truth of "I do not want these alien things instead of seeing only their outer aspects and following false inferences and appearances. It also helps it to get rid of the narrowness and doubt which are the chief defects ; I do not recognise them as part of the physical mindmyself or my nature.

The centre of It is always their [''the psychic being is behind lower forces''] endeavour to rise up and get the centre sanction of the emotional being; it is the emotional mind and higher vital—or if they cannot do that is nearest dynamically , to cover them up so that the psychic and lower nature may act in most men it is through its ordinary way without being pressed by the emotional centre that higher consciousness to change. The first thing necessary for the psychic can be most easily reached sadhak is not to give any consent of his mind or higher vital and through the psychicised emotion to keep them from being covered. If that it can be most easily expressed. Many therefore mistake the one for done, then it becomes possible to push the other; but there is a world lower forces out of difference between the two. The emotions normally are lower vital in their character and body and not part of allow them to return. It is the Mother's Force which you feel—for all the psychic naturehigher forces are hers. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/2831/the-vital-beingsteps-andtowards-vitalovercoming-consciousnessdifficulties#p12p53</ref>

...it is the failure of the right attitude that comes in the way of passing through ordeals to a change of nature. The pressure is becoming greater now for this change of character even more love and bhakti and surrender grow than for decisive Yoga experience—for if the experience comes, it fails to be decisive because of the want of the requisite change of nature. The mind, for instance, gets the experience of the One in all, but the heartvital cannot follow, because it is dominated by ego-reaction and ego-motive or the more rapid and perfect becomes habits of the evolution outer nature keep up a way of thinking, feeling, acting, living which is quite out of harmony with the sadhanaexperience. For Or the descent psychic and transformation imply at part of the same time an increasing contact mind and union emotional being feel frequently the closeness of the Mother, but the rest of the nature is unoffered and goes its own way prolonging the division from her nearness, creating distance. It is because the Sadhaks have never even tried to have the Yogic attitude in all things, they have been contented with the Divinecommon ideas, common view of things, common motives of life, only varied by inner experiences and transferred to the framework of the Asram instead of that of the world outside. It is not enough and there is great need that this should change. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsaagenda/3010/the-psychic-andjuly-spiritual23-realisations1969#p23p78</ref>

All that is needed is for your psychic being to come forward Love and open you to the direct hatred, hope and real fear, grief and constant inner contact of myself and the Motherjoy all have their founts in this one source...It is your soul We like, love, welcome, hope for, joy in itselfwhatever our nature, the first habit of our being, your psychic or else a formed (often perverse) habit, the second nature of our being that must come in front, awaken entirely and make presents to the fundamental changemind as pleasant, ''priyam''; we hate, dislike, fear, have repulsion from or grief of whatever it presents to us as unpleasant, ''apriyam''. The psychic being This habit of the emotional nature gets into the way of the intelligent will not need and makes it often a helpless slave of the support of intellectual ideas emotional being or outer signs at least prevents it from exercising a free judgment and helpsgovernment of the nature. This deformation has to be corrected. It is that alone that can give you the direct feeling By getting rid of desire in the Divine, psychic prana and its intermiscence in the constant nearnessemotional mind, we facilitate the inner support and aidcorrection. You will not For then feel attachment which is the strong bond of the Mother remote or have any farther doubt about heart, falls away from the realisationheart-strings; for the mind thinks and the vital cravesinvoluntary habit of ''rāga-dveṣa'' remains, but , not being made obstinate by attachment, it can be dealt with more easily by the soul feels will and knows the Divineintelligence.

The difficulty Each time there is that in everyone there are two people (to say a purification of the least)—one in outer nature, it becomes more possible for the outer vital inner being to reveal itself, to become free and physical clinging to open to the higher consciousness above. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/the past self -psychic-and trying to get or retain -spiritual-realisations#p15</ref> =The Lower Vital Nature= In the consent lower vital all is a working of general forces which try to seize upon the mind individual and use him for their satisfaction; they are not his forces at all. In the inner being, mind or the other which higher vital it is much easier to establish some kind of control over the soul asking for a new birthforces. That which has spoken in you and made the prayer is the psychic being expressing itself through very reason why one should never put oneself into the aid control of the mind and the higher vital, and it these forces or make oneself a free crossways for their passage. It is this which should always arise in you through prayer and through turning only by opening to the Mother and give you the right idea and the right impulse's force alone that a control can be established over these lower workings. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/the-difficultieslower-ofvital-human-naturebeing#p12p41</ref>

The condition [for the change This lower part of the lower vital] being is that you must bring the sadhana into your physical consciousness and live for the sadhana and the Divine only. You must give up positively the bad habits that still persist and never resume those that have ceased or been interrupted. Inner experiences are helpful to the mind and higher vital for changealways random, wayward, but for the lower vital and the outer being a sadhana of self-discipline is indispensable. The external actions assertive and unwilling to accept the spirit in them must change—your external thoughts imposition on it of any order and actions must be for the Divine onlydiscipline other than its own idea or impulse. There must be self-restraint, entire truthfulness, a constant thought of Its defects even from the Divine beginning stand in all you do. This is the way for of the change efforts of the lower higher vital. By your constant self-dedication and self-discipline to impose on the Force will be brought down into the external being and the change madenature a truly regenerating tapasya. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/the-lower-vital-being#p27p8</ref>

Everyone whose psychic being calls him ...the higher vital is usually much less difficult to surrender, for it is under the influence of the spiritual path has a capacity for that path mind and can arrive at times even of the goal if or as soon as he develops a single-pointed will towards that alonepsychic; so it understands more easily. But also every sadhak It is faced with two elements in him, much easier to convert this than the inner being lower vital which wants is essentially the Divine and the sadhana vital of desires and impulses. So, you see, what he means is that the outer mainly lower vital and physical being which does not want them but remains attached can submit, it agrees to the things of the ordinary life. The mind is sometimes led by oneobey, sometimes by the other. One of the most important things he has to dowhat it is asked, therefore, but it is not at all satisfied. It is to decide fundamentally the quarrel between these two parts and to persuade or compel by psychic aspirationnot happy; sometimes it even suffers; it pushes its revolt down into itself through obedience, by steadiness of but it does not collaborate. And unless the mind's thought vital collaborates with joy and willtrue love, by the choice of the higher vital in his emotional being nothing can be done; the opposing elements to be first quiescent and then consentingtransformations cannot come. <ref>httphttps://incarnateword.in/cwsacwm/3106/the-difficulties-of7-humanjuly-nature1954#p19p8</ref>
==Signs of the Vital Opening==<center>~</center>
This opening ...the emotional mind compelled to take note of all these discords and subject itself to their emotional reactions becomes a hurtling field of the chest into the void (not really the voidjoy and grief, love and hatred, wrath, fear, struggle, aspiration, disgust, likes, dislikes, indifferences, content, discontent, hopes, disappointments, gratitude, but revenge and all the infinite Akash stupendous play of the Chit universal and illimitable) passion which is always the sign of an opening drama of life in the emotional being into the wideness of the Universal Divineworld. The image of the Akash is often seen by sadhaks in DhyanaThis chaos we call our soul. When But the consciousness is liberatedreal soul, whether in the mind or other real psychic entity which for the most partwe see little of and only a small minority in mankind has developed, there is always this sense an instrument of pure love, joy and the wide infinite emptinessluminous reaching out to fusion and unity with God and our fellow-creatures. From the top of the head to the throat This psychic entity is covered up by the mental plane play of the being—a similar opening and emptiness mentalised Prana or wideness here is desire-mind which we mistake for the sign of soul; the emotional mind being freed into the Universal. From the throat is unable to mirror the stomach is real soul in us, the higher vital or emotional region.

It [''the psychic''] can have a very great influence [''on the physical mind''] by giving it the right attitude and the right way of looking at things so that it supports the emotional being in its aspiration, love and surrender and itself gets interest, faith and insight in the inner truth of things instead of seeing only their outer aspects and following false inferences and appearances.

It is not possible to say with any precision what the resistance in the higher vital parts will be, what form it takes, because it may take different forms with different natures. It is quite normal that there should be some resistance almost at every point to the descent of the higher consciousness; for the different parts of the present nature are each more or less attached to their own established way of seeing, acting, feeling, reacting to things and to the habitual movements and formations of their own domain which each individual has made for himself in the past or in his present life. What is needed is a general plasticity of the mind, the vital, the physical consciousness, a readiness to give up all attachment to these things, to accept whatever the higher consciousness brings down with it however contrary to one's own received ideas, feelings, habits of nature. The greater the plasticity in any part of the nature, the less the resistance there. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/28/the-vital-being-and-vital-consciousness#p15</ref>
==Emotional Being in Animals==
The emotional being of animals is often much more psychic than that of men who can be very insensitive. There were recently pictures of the tame tigress kept by a family and afterwards given by them to a Zoo. The look of sorrow on the face of the tigress in her cage at once gentle and tragically poignant is so intense as to be heartbreaking. <ref>httphttps://incarnateword.in/cwsa/28/science-and-yoga#p64p71</ref>
