=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?== ''Q. What is meant by the yogic term "through the heart"? Is it the higher vital?'' ''A.'' Yes, the emotional being. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/17/9-march-1935#p3,p4</ref>
<center>~</center>
The emotional nervous part of the being is itself a portion of the vital—it is the vital physical, the life-force closely enmeshed in the reactions, desires, needs, sensations of the body. The vital proper is the life-force acting in its own nature, impulses, emotions, feelings, desires, ambitions etc. having as their highest centre what we may call the outer heart of emotion, while there is an inner heart where are the higher or psychic feelings and sensibilities, the emotions and intuitive yearnings and impulses of the soul. The vital part of us is, of course, necessary to our completeness, but it is a true instrument only when its feelings and tendencies have been purified by the vitalpsychic touch and taken up and governed by the spiritual light and power. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/28/the-vital-being-and-vital-consciousness#p25 p34</ref>
<center>~</center>
The point about the emotional and the higher vital movement is a rather difficult one. In one classification in which mind is taken as something more than the thinking, perceiving refined and willing intelligence, the emotional can be reckoned as part of the mind, the vital large in the mental. In another classification it is rather the most mentalised part motion than that of the ordinary vital nature. In another classification it is It stresses emotion rather the most mentalised part of the vital nature. In the first casethan sensation and desire, the term higher vital is confined to that larger movement of the conscious life-force which but it is concerned with creation, with power and force and conquest, with giving and self-giving and gathering not free 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 demand and the two together make the higher vital. As against them stands the lower vital which is concerned with the pettier movements of action and desire and stretches down into the vital physical where it supports the life of the more external activities and all physical sensations, hungers, cravings, satisfactionspossession. <ref>httphttps://incarnateword.in/cwsa/2831/the-vitalnature-beingof-andthe-vital-consciousness#p11p50</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 is composed of different personalities that feel and behave in a different way and his action …the term higher vital is determined by the one that happens confined to be prominent at the time. The one that has no feelings against anyone is either the psychic being or the emotional being in the heart, the one that feels anger and is severe is a part larger movement of the external vital nature on the surface. This anger and severity conscious life-force which is a wrong form of something that in itself has a valueconcerned with creation, a certain strength of will with power and force of action and control in the vital beingconquest, without which work cannot be done. What is necessary is to get rid of the anger with giving and self-giving and to keep gathering from the force world for farther action and firm will along with a developed judgment as to what is the right thing to do in any circumstances. For instanceexpenditure of power, people can be allowed to do things throwing itself out in their own way when that does not spoil the workwider movements of life, when it is only their way of doing what is necessary to be done; when their way is opposed responsive to the discipline greater objects of Nature. In the worksecond arrangement, then they have to be controlled, but it should be done quietly and kindly, not with anger. Very often, if one has developed a silent power the emotional being stands at the top of putting the Mother's force on vital nature and the work with one's own will as instrument, that by itself may be sufficient without having to say anything as two together make the person changes his way of himself as if by his own initiativehigher vital. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/2928/practicalthe-vital-being-concernsand-invital-workconsciousness#p21p11</ref> <center>~</center>
==What By the higher vital parts of the nature I mean the vital mind, the emotional nature, the life-force dynamis in the being. The vital mind is Higher Vital?==that part of the vital being which builds, plans, imagines, arranges things and thoughts according to the life-pushes, desires, will to power or possession, will to action, emotions, vital ego reactions of the nature. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/28/the-vital-being-and-vital-consciousness#p16</ref>

Higher vital usually refers to the vital mind and emotive beingas opposed to the middle vital which has its seat in the navel and is dynamic, sensational and passionate and the lower which is made up of the smaller movements of human life-desire and life-reactions. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/28/classification-of-the-parts-of-the-being#p15</ref>
===Where is the Higher Vital and All Its Parts It Located?===
This higher vital with all its parts is situated in the chest and has the cardiac centre as its main stronghold governing all this part down to the navel...By the higher vital parts of the nature I mean the vital mind, emotional nature, the life-force dynamics in the being. The vital mind is that part of the vital being which builds, plans, imagines, arranges things and thoughts according to the life-pushes, desires, will to power or possession, will to action, emotions, vital ego reactions of the nature. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/28/the-vital-being-and-vital-consciousness#p16</ref>

The colours of the lotuses and the numbers of petals ... the heart centre, twelve petals, golden pink… ... The functions are… commanding the higher emotional being with the psychic deep behind it...it…<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/28/the-system-of-the-chakras#p20</ref>
<center>~</center>
The heart is the centre of the emotional being, the highest part of and the emotions are vitalmovements. The navel is When the centre of the dynamic and sensational vital (this heart is the source of pride, sense of possession, ambitionpurified, anger and other passions—but it expresses them of ten through the heart centre)vital emotions change into psychic feelings or else psychicised vital movements. <ref>httphttps://incarnateword.in/cwsa/28/the-systemvital-ofbeing-theand-vital-chakrasconsciousness#p64p27</ref>
==The Difference between Psychic and Emotional Being ==
Emotion belongs to ...you must not mistake the higher vital, not to feelings for the pure psychic. The psychic is a steady flame ..—these two are absolutely different things. People always think that burns in youwhen they have emotions, feelings, soaring towards they are entering the Divine and carrying psychic. These things have nothing to do with it a sense of strength which breaks down all oppositionsthe psychic, they are purely vital. When you They are identified with it you have the feeling most subtle part of the divine truth—then vital, if you cannot help feeling also like, but they are vital. It's not through the feelings that one goes to the whole world psychic, it is ignorantly walking on its head with its feet in the air! through a very intense aspiration and a self-detachment. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/0307/the-ordinary-life-and-the27-truejuly-soul1955#p4p7</ref>
<center>~</center>
…this inmost soul, that is, The centre of the central psychic being, influences is behind the superficial parts centre of the consciousness (superficial in comparison with emotional being; it: mental parts, vital parts). The purest mind, is the highest vital, the emotive being—the soul influences them, influences them emotional that is nearest dynamically to an extent where one has the impression of entering into contact with psychic and in most men it is through these parts of the being. So people take these parts for emotional centre that the soul psychic can be most easily reached and through the psychicised emotion that is why he says "it can be most easily expressed. Many therefore mistake the one for the inmost soul", that other; but there is, a world of difference between the central soul, two. The emotions normally are vital in their character and not part of the real soulpsychic nature. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwmcwsa/0728/3the-vital-being-augustand-1955vital-consciousness#p9p12</ref> <center>~</center>
The surface of Emotion belongs to the heart centre is the place of the emotional being; from there one goes deep higher vital, not to find the pure psychic. The more one goespsychic is a steady flame that burns in you, soaring towards the Divine and carrying with it a sense of strength which breaks down all oppositions. When you are identified with it you have the more intense becomes feeling of the psychic happiness which divine truth—then you describe. cannot help feeling also that the whole world is ignorantly walking on its head with its feet in the air! <ref>httphttps://incarnateword.in/cwsacwm/3003/the-psychicordinary-beinglife-and-its-rolethe-intrue-sadhanasoul#p17 p4</ref>

It …this inmost soul, that is through , the emotional central psychic being that , influences the superficial parts of the consciousness (superficial in comparison with it: mental parts, vital parts). The purest mind, the highest vital, the psychic most easily expressesemotive being—the soul influences them, for influences them to an extent where one has the impression of entering into contact with it stands just behind it in through these parts of the heart centrebeing.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/human-relations-So people take these parts for the soul and-that is why he says "the-spiritual-life#p7 </ref>inmost soul", that is, the central soul, the real soul.
==What Is the Role For very often, when one touches certain parts of The Lower Vital Nature?== Evidently, the condition into mind which you have fallen is due to an upsurging of suppressed elements in are under the lower vital nature. It has been compelled by the mind psychic influence and the higher vital part in you to give up the little "joys full of light and pleasures" to which it was habituated, but it—or at any rate the subconscient part joy of it which is often the most powerful—did that without entire conviction and probably with "reservations" and "safeguards" and in exchange for a promise of compensationslight, other and greater joys or when one touches certain very pure and pleasures to replace all it was losing. This is evident from what you write; your description very high parts of the nature of emotive being which has the depressionmost generous, the return of what you call impure thoughts which are merely indices of the subconscient lower vital desire-complexmost unselfish emotions, one also has the doubt thrown upon the generosity impression of the Divine, the demand for compensation for losses, something like striking a bargain being in contact with the Divine, a quid pro quo pact, are all unmistakable. Latterly, there has been a combination of circumstances (Xone's turning inwards, Y's emigration etcsoul.) which have rather suddenly increased the deprivation of its former outlets; But this attack is its way of non-cooperation or protest. There is only one way to deal with it,—to cast not the whole thing away—depression, demands, doubts, sex-thoughtstrue soul, it is not the whole undesirable baggage,—and have soul in its place very essence. These are parts of the one true movement, the call for the true consciousness being under its influence and the presence manifesting something of the Divineit. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsacwm/3107/the3-loweraugust-vital-being1955#p43p9</ref>
=The Role of Emotional Being in Yoga=
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-spiritual-life#p11</ref>
<center>~</center>
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>
 
==For Having a Yogic Attitude in All Things==
 
"As you say, 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 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 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 the psychic and part of the mind and 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 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 is not enough and there is great need that this should change. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/agenda/10/july-23-1969#p78</ref>
 
==For Collaborating and Surrendering of Lower Vital==
 
Yes, the higher vital is usually much less difficult to surrender, for it is under the influence of the mind and at times even of the psychic; so it understands more easily. It is much easier to convert this than the lower vital which is essentially the vital of desires and impulses. So, you see, what he means is that the lower vital can submit, it agrees to obey, to do what it is asked, but it is not at all satisfied. It is not happy; sometimes it even suffers; it pushes its revolt down into itself through obedience, but it does not collaborate. And unless the vital collaborates with joy and true love, nothing can be done; the transformations cannot come. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/06/7-july-1954#p9</ref>
<center>~</center>
If the heart centre is dominated by the physical mind to any extent, it will necessarily be open to the outer attacks that affect the physical and nervous consciousness. The heart has to be in connection with the psychic and the higher consciousness. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/28/the-system-of-the-chakras#p62</ref>
==For Peace== <center>~</center>
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 the peace and Ananda—but connection with the lower vital worlds can easily bring disturbance and unrest, so long as your vital itself is not changed and made full of peace and strength and quiet. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/inner-experience-and-outer-life#p12</ref>
=How to Bring Forward the Emotional Being and Higher Vital?=<center>~</center>
==Methods ... approach made by the soul to the direct contact is through the heart: this is its own more close and 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 can act best at the beginning with its native power, with its living force of concrete experience. It is through a love and adoration of the All-beautiful and All-blissful, the All-Good, the True, the spiritual Reality of love, that the approach is 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 bhakta; if, in addition, he becomes directly aware of Strengthening his soul and its dictates, unites his emotional with his psychic personality and changes his life and vital parts by purity, God-ecstasy, the Emotional love of God and men and all creatures into a thing of spiritual beauty, full of divine light and good, he develops into the 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 thinking mind and all the vital and physical parts of consciousness in their own character. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/22/the-triple-transformation#p15</ref>
===Concentration & Aspiration in To Find the Heart=Psychic Being==
Another method Man, because he is a mental being, is prone to give the highest importance to the thinking mind and its reason and will and to its way of approach and effectuation of Truth and, even, he is inclined to hold that there is concentration no other. The heart with its emotions and aspiration incalculable movements is to the eye of his intellect an obscure, uncertain and often a perilous and misleading power which needs to be kept in control by the reason and the mental will and intelligence. And yet there is in the heart or behind it a profounder mystic light which opens , if not what we call intuition,—for that, though not of the inner emotional being… But whatever method mind, yet descends through the mind—has yet a direct touch upon Truth and is used will not bring nearer to the Divine than the human intellect in its effect at once; it must be done persistently, simply, directly till it succeedspride of knowledge. … If one can get rid According to the ancient teaching the seat of them in their central actionthe immanent Divine, the survival of their activity hidden Purusha, is in the circumference does not so much matter; for then mystic heart,—the secret heart-cave, ''hṛdaye guhāyām'',as the opening becomes possibleUpanishads put it, both —and, according to make and to keep and the rest can followexperience of many Yogins, it is from its depths that there comes the voice or the breath of the inner oracle. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/3123/time-andthe-changeascent-of-the-naturesacrifice-i#p10p16</ref>
===Quiet & Calm===<center>~</center>
What you The true soul secret in us—subliminal, we have to aspire said, but the word is misleading, for this presence is not situated below the threshold of waking mind, but rather burns in the temple of the inmost heart behind the thick screen of an ignorant mind, life and bring down in you body, not subliminal but behind the veil,—this veiled psychic entity is the peace flame of the Mother's consciousnessGodhead always alight within us, inextinguishable even by that dense unconsciousness of any spiritual self within which obscures our outward nature. PeaceIt is a flame born out of the Divine and, calmluminous inhabitant of the Ignorance, equanimity grows in it till it is able to turn it towards the Knowledge. It is the emotional being concealed Witness and Control, the hidden Guide, the Daemon of Socrates, the rest inner light or inner voice of the vital especially—it mystic. It is that which will purify the emotions endures and deliver is imperishable in us from birth to birth, untouched by death, decay or corruption, an indestructible spark of the vitalDivine. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/3121/the-naturedouble-ofsoul-thein-vitalman#p67p10</ref>
<center>~</center>
Always get back to quietudeThe psychic being is in the heart centre in the middle of the chest (not in the physical heart, for all the centres are in the middle of the body), but it is deep behind. It When one is through going away from the quietude vital into the psychic, it is felt as if one is going deep deep down till one reaches that central place of the psychic. The surface of the heart centre is the place of the emotional being; from there one goes deep to find the psychic. The more one goes, the right attitude and understanding and movements come backmore intense becomes the psychic happiness...<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/2930/quietthe-psychic-being-and-calmits-role-in-sadhana#p24p17 </ref>
<center>~</center>
Affection, love, tenderness are in their nature psychic,—the vital has them because the psychic is trying to express itself through the vital. It [peace] has is through the emotional being that the psychic most easily expresses, for it stands just behind it in the heart centre. But it wants these things to be brought down 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 soul are the heart things that are to it most abiding and navel firstconcrete. That gives it a certain kind Mind, vital, body are means of expression and very precious means of expression, but the inner stability—though not absolute. There life is no method other than aspirationfor the soul the first thing, the deepest reality, a strong quiet will and a rejection these have to be subordinated to it and conditioned by it, its expression, its instruments and channel… The emphasis on the mastery of all that the vital, its subordination and subjection to the spiritual and the psychic is not turned towards 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 in those parts into which you call are an inner realisation, the peace—here soul offering itself through the emotional and higher vitalbeing. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/3031/thehuman-descentrelations-ofand-the-higherspiritual-powerslife#p18p7 </ref>
===Going Deep Within==How to Bring Forward the Emotional Being/Higher Vital?=
It This 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 quite true that by going above one can get out unacquainted with any real peace, incapable of a steady perfection of all problemsits powers. By purification, by equality, for they no longer existby the light of knowledge, but by a harmonising of the problems are there below and will it is difficult can be brought to be always above with so much unsolved a tranquil intensity and calling for solutionperfection. But just as The first two elements of this perfection are on one can go side a high aboveand large sweetness, openness, gentleness, calm, clarity, so one can go deep within on the other side a strong and ardent force and it is this going deep within that is neededintensity...Once one reaches it, these things can In the divine no longer touch; what will be less than in ordinary human character and action there is are always two strands, sweetness and strength, mildness and force, saumya and raudra, the inner peace force that bears and happinessharmonises, the untroubled aspirationforce that imposes itself and compels, Vishnu and Ishana, Shiva and Rudra. The two are equally necessary to a perfect world-action. The perversions of the Rudra power in the presence or nearness heart are stormy passion, wrath and fierceness and harshness, hardness, brutality, cruelty, egoistic ambition and love of violence and domination. These and other human perversions have to be got rid of by the Motherflowering of a calm, clear and sweet psychical being. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/2924/bhaktithe-power-of-devotionthe-worshipinstruments#p9p10</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 said or done to you but to look at them with a straight lookAnd yet the true emotive soul, free from the distortions created by personal feelingreal psyche in us, and to try to understand what is behind themnot a desire-soul, why they happen, what is to be learnt from them, what is it in oneself which they are cast against but a soul of pure love and what inner profit or progress one can make out of themdelight; it means self-mastery over the vital movementsbut that, anger and sensitiveness and pride as well as desire and like the rest, not to let them get hold of the emotional our true being and disturb , can only emerge when the inner peace, not to speak and act in deformation created by the rush and impulsion life of these things, always to act desire is removed from the surface and speak out is no longer the characteristic action of our being. To get that done is a calm inner poise necessary part of the spirit. It is not easy to have this equality in any full and perfect measureour purification, liberation, but one should always try more and more to make it the basis of one's inner state and outer movementsperfection. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/2924/equalitythe-instruments-of-the-chief-supportspirit#p6p7</ref>
<center>~</center>
A free heart In fact each human being is similarly 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 one that has no feelings against anyone is either the psychic being or the emotional being in the heart delivered from , the gusts one that feels anger and storms is severe is a part of the affections external vital nature on the surface. This anger and the passions; the assailing touch severity is a wrong form of griefsomething that in itself has a value, wrath, hatred, fear, inequality a certain strength of love, trouble will and force of joyaction and control in the vital being, pain without which work cannot be done. What is necessary is to get rid of sorrow fall away from the equal heart, anger and to keep the force and leave it firm will along with a developed judgment as to what is the right thing large, calm, equal, luminousto do in any circumstances. For instance, divine... When we live people can be allowed to do things in unity with their own way when that does not spoil the Divine in ourselves and work, when it is only their way of doing what is necessary to be done; when their way is opposed to the spirit discipline of the universework, then they have to be controlled, these imperfections fall away from us but it should be done quietly and disappear in the calm and equal strength and delight of the inner spiritual existencekindly, not with anger... By equality Very often, if one has developed a silent power of putting the heart we get away from the troubled desire-soul Mother's force on the surface, open the gates of this profounder beingwork with one's own will as instrument, 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 of spiritual feeling is by itself may be sufficient without having to say anything as the outcome person changes his way of this perfectionhimself as if by his own initiative. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/2429/thepractical-perfectionconcerns-ofin-equalitywork#p7p21</ref>
<center>~</center>
Outer difficulties or inconveniences you should not allow The heart is part of the vital—it has to alarm or depress you. Inner difficulties should also be met with detachmentcontrolled in the same way as the rest, calm equalityby rejection of the wrong movements, the unshakable will to conquer. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/desire#p55</ref> ===Refusal & Rejection by acceptance of Adverse Forces=== This confusion of mind and vital you must get rid of—you must call in the true reason psychic surrender which prevents all demand and clamour, by calling in the higher vital to cast out these movementslight and knowledge. A higher reason must refuse to listen to its self-justifications It is not usually however the heart that bothers about mental questions and tell it that nothing, however plausible, can justify these motives in a sadhak; your higher vital must refuse the answer to accept them [hostile services], telling it, "I do not want these alien things; I do not recognise them as part of myself or my nature." <ref>httphttps://incarnateword.in/cwsa/3128/attacksthe-byvital-being-theand-hostilevital-forcesconsciousness#p17p28</ref>
<center>~</center>
It is always their [the lower forces'] endeavour to rise up There must be implanted and activised in all our doings a supreme, impersonal, unfaltering and unstumbling will in spontaneous and get untroubled unison with the sanction will of the mind Divine. The unsatisfying surface play of our feeble egoistic emotions must be ousted and higher vital—or if they cannot do there must be revealed instead a secret deep and vast psychic heart within that, to cover waits behind them up so that the lower nature may act in for its ordinary way without being pressed hour; all our feelings, impelled by this inner heart in which dwells the higher consciousness to change. The first thing necessary for the sadhak is not to give any consent Divine, will be transmuted into calm and intense movements of his mind or higher vital and to keep them from being covered. If that can be done, then it becomes possible to push the lower forces out a twin passion of the lower vital divine Love and body and not allow them to return. It is the Mother's Force which you feel—for all the higher forces are hersmanifold Ananda.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/3123/stepsself-surrender-in-works-the-towardsway-overcomingof-the-difficultiesgita#p53p4</ref>
<center>~</center>
The first thing It is the inner offering of the heart's adoration, the soul of it in the symbol, the spirit of it in the act, that is the very life of the sacrifice. If this offering is to be complete and universal, then a turning of all our emotions to the Divine is imperative. This is the intensest way of purification for the mind human heart, more powerful than any ethical or aesthetic catharsis could ever be by its half-power and also superficial pressure. A psychic fire within must be lit into which all is thrown with the Divine Name upon it. In that fire all the higher vital emotions are compelled to withdraw cast off their consent altogether; if grosser elements and those that are undivine perversions are burned away and the others discard their insufficiencies, till a spirit of largest love and a stainless divine delight arises out of the@165@ flame and smoke and frankincense. It is donethe divine love which so emerges that, it becomes only a mechanical return from outside on extended in inward feeling to the physical Divine in man and finally only all creatures in an active memory which universal equality, will disappear when it is able to find no welcome in any part be more potent for the perfectibility of life and a more real instrument than the natureineffective mental ideal of brotherhood can ever be. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/3123/sexthe-ascent-of-the-sacrifice-ii#p99p12</ref>
<center>~</center>===By Faith===
It This faith, ''kalyāṇa-śraddhā'', is not however a fact needed in order that the heart and the whole nature has overt psychic being may respond to the secret divine Ananda and change itself into this true original essence. This faith and will must be emptied accompanied by and open into an illimitable widest and intensest capacity for love. For the main business of the old things before there can be the Light and Graceheart, its true function is love. It is done usually our destined instrument of complete union and oneness; for to see oneness in different parts of the nature at different times. You had your former experiences because world by the understanding is not enough unless we also feel it with the mind heart and higher vital were sufficiently emptied in the psychic being, and quiet to receive some experiences of this means a new consciousness. Now it is delight in the physical mind, physical vital One and body that have to be emptied—these always take longer than in all existences in the others because the physical is more full world in him, a love of old habits, more obstinate in keeping God and always repeating them, more slow to receive anything new or to changeall beings. But by The heart's faith and will in good are founded on a perception of the detachment one Divine immanent in all things and steady rejection and reliance leading the world. The universal love has to be founded on the Motherheart's forcesight and psychical and emotional sense of the one Divine, this obstinacy can be overcome the one Self in all existence. All four elements will then form a unity and even the cup emptied Rudra power to do battle for filling with the Divine Lightright and the good proceed on the basis of a power of universal love. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/3024/emptinessthe-voidnesspower-blanknessof-andthe-silenceinstruments#p13p12</ref>
===Purification By Peace and Quietude===
I told you also at Always get back to quietude. It is through the quietude that time that there was a third part of the nature, right attitude and understanding and movements come back. It is natural for the inner being (inner mind, inner lower vital, inner physical) to be made up of which you were not yet awarefeelings, but which must also open in time. It impulses and desires and to be attached to outer things—but that is this that has happened in your last experience. What you felt as only a part of you, yourself but not your physical self, rising to meet . There is also the psychic and the higher consciousness above, was this inner being; it was your (inner) mind and higher vital being which rose in that way to join the highest Self above—and it was able to do so, because only need quietude and the work help of purifying the outer vital nature had begun in earnest. Each time there is a purification of the outer nature, it becomes Force and Peace behind them to come forward more possible for strongly and dominate over the inner being to reveal itself, to become free lower vital and help to open to the higher consciousness abovechange it. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/3029/the-psychicquiet-and-spiritual-realisationscalm#p15p24</ref>
<center>~</center>
Love and hatred, hope and fear, grief and joy all have their founts in this one source. We like, love, welcome, hope for, joy in whatever our nature, the first habit of our being, or else a formed (often perverse) habit, the second nature of our being, presents It [peace] has to the mind as pleasant, priyam; we hate, dislike, fear, have repulsion from or grief of whatever it presents be brought down to us as unpleasant, ''apriyam''. This habit of the emotional nature gets into the way of the intelligent will heart and makes navel first. That gives it often a helpless slave certain kind of the emotional being or at least prevents it from exercising inner stability—though not absolute. There is no method other than aspiration, a free judgment strong quiet will and government a rejection of all that is not turned towards the nature. This deformation has to be corrected. By getting rid of desire Divine in those parts into which you call the psychic prana and its intermiscence in peace—here the emotional mind, we facilitate the correction...The restless heart can be conquered and get rid of the habit of attraction and repulsionhigher vital. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/2430/purificationthe-descent-of-the-lowerhigher-mentalitypowers#p7p18</ref>
<center>~</center>
But then if this It is donequite true that by going above one can get out of all problems, for they no longer exist, but the problems are there below and it may is difficult to be thought, always above with so much unsolved and calling for solution. But just as with regard to desireone can go high above, so one can go deep within and it is this going deep within that this will be is needed. What happened was at the death surface of the emotional being... Then too and if one simply stays there the right activity difficulties of the heart emotional can come, but what has to be brought done is not to stay on the surface; for we find then that but go deep within. For the psychic is there behind this emotion-ridden soul of desire there was waiting all the while a soul of love and lucid joy and delightemotional surface, a pure psyche, which was clouded over by deep behind the deformations of angerheart centre. Once one reaches it, fear, hatred, repulsion and could not embrace these things can no longer touch; what will be there is the world with an impartial love inner peace and joy. But happiness, the purified heart is rid of angeruntroubled aspiration, rid of fear, rid the presence or nearness 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 worldMother. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/2429/purification-thebhakti-lowerdevotion-mentalityworship#p8 p9</ref>
=The Difficulty of Lower Vital Forces==By Concentration and Aspiration in the Heart===
This lower part of the being But it is always randombetter because if you concentrate there [in theheart], waywarddeeply enough, self-assertive and unwilling to accept it is there that you enter into contact with the imposition on it of any order and discipline other than its own idea or impulse. Its defects even from psychic for the beginning stand first time; while if you concentrate in the way of head you have to pass later from the efforts of head to the higher vital heart to be able to impose on identify yourself with the nature a truly regenerating tapasyapsychic being. This habit of disobedience and disregard of discipline is so strong that it does not always need to be deliberate; And if you concentrate by gathering the response to energies, it seems is better to be immediategather them here, irresistible and instinctive. Thus obedience to the Mother because it is repeatedly promised or professedin this centre, but in this region of the action done or being that you find the course followed is frequently will to progress, the very opposite force of purification, and the profession or promisemost intense and effective aspiration. This constant indiscipline The aspiration that comes from the heart is a radical obstacle to the sadhana and much more effective than that from the worst possible example to othershead. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsacwm/3106/the-lower3-vitalnovember-being1954#p8</ref>
<center>~</center>
It was the soul within, first There must be a flaming concentration of all, and through it the higher mind and heart on the higher vital. Why then find fault with seeking of the Divine for misleading you when it turned you to the Yoga or brought you here? It was simply answering to the demand of your own inner being All and the higher parts of your nature. If you have so much difficulty Eternal and become restless, it is because you are still divided and something in your lower vital still regrets what it has lost orwhen once we have found him, as a price for its adhesion or a compensation—a price to be immediately paid down to it,—asks for something similar deep plunging and equivalent immersion in the spiritual lifepossession and ecstasy of the All-Beautiful. It refuses to believe that there is There must be a greater compensation, a larger vital life waiting for it in which there shall not be strong and immovable concentration of the will on the old inadequacy attainment and unrest and final dissatisfaction. The foolishness is not in fulfilment of all that the Divine guidance, but in the irrational is and obstinate resistance of this confused a free and obscure part plastic opening of you it to the demand, made not only by this Yoga, but by all Yoga—to the necessary conditions for the satisfaction of the aspiration of your own soul and higher naturethat he intends to manifest in us.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/2923/bhakti-yoga-andself-vaishnavismconsecration#p29p18</ref>
==Dealing with the Hostile Attacks==<center>~</center>
In Another method is concentration and aspiration in the lower vital all is a working of general forces heart which try to seize upon opens the individual and use him for their satisfaction; they are inner emotional being… But whatever method is used will not his forces bring its effect at allonce; it must be done persistently, simply, directly till it succeeds. In the If it is done with a mind of doubt or the higher vital watching it as an experiment to see if it succeeds or if it is much easier to establish some kind continually crossed by a spirit of control over the forces. That hasty despondency saying constantly, "You see it is all useless," then it ought to be obvious that the opening will be very reason why one should never put oneself into the control of these forces difficult, because there is that clogging it every time there is a pressure or make oneself a free crossways for their passage. It is only by opening push to the Mother's force alone that a control can be established over these lower workingsopen. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/thetime-and-change-lowerof-vitalthe-beingnature#p41p10</ref>
<center>~</center>
There has been progress What you have to aspire for and bring down in all these parts [of the being], but they seem to be subject still to a response to you is the suggestions peace of the hostile forcesMother's consciousness. Everybody gets these suggestionsPeace, but they ought not to be allowed to enter insidecalm, especially equanimity in the heart, or to be accepted by emotional being and the rest of the vital. Evidently, they enter through especially—it is that which will purify the physical mind (from the throat upwards means that) emotions and affect deliver the surface vital and emotional being. You must get the power to reject them from there by a constant and steady denial and refusal of their suggestions. So long as anything in you says "yes" or accepts, there is always the possibility of a return. <ref>httphttps://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/attacksthe-nature-byof-the-hostile-forcesvital#p28p69</ref> ===By Equality===
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 vital movements, anger and sensitiveness and pride as well as desire and the rest, not to let them get hold of the emotional being and disturb the inner peace, not to speak and act in the rush and impulsion of these things, always to act and speak out of a calm inner poise of the spirit. It is not easy to have this equality in any full and perfect measure, but one should always try more and more to make it the basis of one's inner state and outer movements. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/equality-the-chief-support#p6</ref>
=Role of Psychic=<center>~</center>
It [the psychic] can have A free heart is similarly a very great influence [on heart delivered from the physical mind] by giving it gusts and storms of the right attitude affections and the right way passions; the assailing touch of looking at 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 so that it supports are not incumbent on the emotional essential nature of our being in , but the creations of the present make of our outward active mental and vital nature and its transactions with its aspirationsurroundings. 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 universe, love is responsible for these aberrations. When we live in unity with the Divine in ourselves and surrender and itself gets interestthe spirit of the universe, faith these imperfections fall away from us and insight disappear in the calm and equal strength and delight of the inner truth spiritual existence. Always that is within us and transforms the outward touches before they reach it by a passage through a subliminal psychic soul in us which is the hidden instrument of things instead its delight of seeing only their outer aspects and following false inferences and appearancesbeing. It also helps it to By equality of the heart we get rid away from the troubled desire-soul on the surface, open the gates of the narrowness 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 doubt which are all-embracing heart of spiritual feeling is the chief defects outcome of the physical mindthis perfection. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/3124/the-physicalperfection-mind-andof-sadhanaequality#p30p7</ref>
<center>~</center>===By Refusal and Rejection of Adverse Forces===
The centre There has been progress in all these parts [''of the psychic being is behind ''], but they seem to be subject still to a response to the centre suggestions of the emotional being; it is hostile forces. Everybody gets these suggestions, but they ought not to be allowed to enter inside, especially in the emotional that is nearest dynamically heart, or to be accepted by the psychic and in most men it is vital. Evidently, they enter through the emotional centre physical mind (from the throat upwards means that ) and affect the psychic can be most easily reached surface vital and through the psychicised emotion that it can be most easily expressedemotional being. Many therefore mistake You must get the one for the other; but power to reject them from there is by a world constant and steady denial and refusal of difference between the twotheir suggestions. The emotions normally are vital So long as anything in their character and not part you says "yes" or accepts, there is always the possibility of the psychic naturea return. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/2831/theattacks-vitalby-beingthe-and-vitalhostile-consciousnessforces#p12p28</ref>
<center>~</center>
The more love This confusion of mind and bhakti and surrender grow vital you must get rid of—you must call in the heart, the more rapid true reason and perfect becomes the evolution of the sadhanahigher vital to cast out these movements. For the descent A higher reason must refuse to listen to its self-justifications and transformation imply at the same time an increasing contact and union with the Divinetell it that nothing, however plausible, can justify these motives in a sadhak; your higher vital must refuse to accept them [adverse forces], telling it, "I do not want these alien things; I do not recognise them as part of myself or my nature. " <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/3031/theattacks-psychicby-andthe-spiritualhostile-realisationsforces#p23p17</ref>
<center>~</center>
All that It is needed is for your psychic being always their [''the lower forces''] endeavour to come forward rise up and open you to get the direct and real and constant inner contact sanction of myself the mind and higher vital—or if they cannot do that, to cover them up so that the Mother...It is your soul lower nature may act in itself, your psychic its ordinary way without being that must come in front, awaken entirely and make pressed by the fundamental higher consciousness to change. The psychic being will first thing necessary for the sadhak is not need the support to give any consent of intellectual ideas his mind or outer signs higher vital and helpsto keep them from being covered. It is that alone If that can give you be done, then it becomes possible to push the direct feeling lower forces out of the Divine, the constant nearness, the inner support lower vital and body and aidnot allow them to return. You will not then feel It is the Mother remote or have any farther doubt about the realisation; for the mind thinks and the vital craves, but the soul feels and knows 's Force which you feel—for all the Divinehigher forces are hers. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/dealingsteps-withtowards-hostileovercoming-attacksdifficulties#p16p53</ref>
<center>~</center>
The difficulty ...it is the failure of the right attitude that comes in everyone there are two people (to say the least)—one in the outer vital and physical clinging way of passing through ordeals to a change of nature. The pressure is becoming greater now for this change of character even more than for decisive Yoga experience—for if the past self and trying experience comes, it fails to get or retain be decisive because of the consent want of the requisite change of nature. The mind and , for instance, gets the experience of the inner beingOne in all, but the other which vital cannot follow, because it is dominated by ego-reaction and ego-motive or the habits of the soul asking for outer nature keep up a new birth. That way of thinking, feeling, acting, living which has spoken in you and made is quite out of harmony with the prayer is experience. Or the psychic and part of the mind and emotional being expressing itself through feel frequently the closeness of the Mother, but the aid rest of the mind nature is unoffered and goes its own way prolonging the higher vitaldivision from her nearness, and it creating distance. It is this which should always arise because the Sadhaks have never even tried to have the Yogic attitude in you through prayer all things, they have been contented with the common ideas, common view of things, common motives of life, only varied by inner experiences and through turning transferred to the Mother and give you framework of the Asram instead of that of the right idea world outside. It is not enough and the right impulsethere is great need that this should change. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsaagenda/3110/thejuly-difficulties23-of-human-nature1969#p12p78</ref>

The condition [Love and hatred, hope and fear, grief and joy all have their founts in this one source. We like, love, welcome, hope for , joy in whatever our nature, the change first habit of our being, or else a formed (often perverse) habit, the lower vital] is that you must bring second nature of our being, presents to 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 mind as pleasant, ''priyam''; we hate, dislike, fear, have ceased repulsion from or been interruptedgrief of whatever it presents to us as unpleasant, ''apriyam''. Inner experiences are helpful to This habit of the emotional nature gets into the mind and higher vital for change, but for way of the lower vital intelligent will and makes it often a helpless slave of the outer emotional being or at least prevents it from exercising a sadhana free judgment and government of self-discipline is indispensablethe nature. This deformation has to be corrected. The external actions By getting rid of desire in the psychic prana and the spirit its intermiscence in them must change—your external thoughts and actions must be for the Divine only. There must be self-restraintemotional mind, entire truthfulness, a constant thought of we facilitate the Divine in all you docorrection. This For then attachment which is the way for strong bond of the change of heart, falls away from the lower vital. By your constant selfheart-dedication and selfstrings; the involuntary habit of ''rāga-discipline dveṣa'' remains, but, not being made obstinate by attachment, it can be dealt with more easily by the Force will and the intelligence. The restless heart can be brought down into conquered and get rid of the external being habit of attraction and the change maderepulsion. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/3124/purification-the-lower-vital-beingmentality#p27p7</ref>

Everyone whose psychic being calls him to the spiritual path has Each time there is a capacity for that path and can arrive at purification of the goal if or as soon as he develops a single-pointed will towards that alone. But also every sadhak is faced with two elements in himouter nature, it becomes more possible for the inner being which wants the Divine and the sadhana and the outer mainly vital and physical being which does not want them but remains attached to the things of the ordinary life. The mind is sometimes led by one, sometimes by the other. One of the most important things he has to doreveal itself, therefore, is to decide fundamentally the quarrel between these two parts become free and to persuade or compel by psychic aspiration, by steadiness of the mind's thought and will, by the choice of open to the higher vital in his emotional being the opposing elements to be first quiescent and then consentingconsciousness above. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/3130/the-difficultiespsychic-ofand-humanspiritual-naturerealisations#p19p15</ref>
==Signs of the The Lower Vital Opening=Nature=
This opening of In the chest into the void (not really the void, but the infinite Akash lower vital all is a working of general forces which try to seize upon the Chit universal individual and illimitable) is always the sign of an opening of the emotional being into the wideness of the Universal Divineuse him for their satisfaction; they are not his forces at all. The image of the Akash is often seen by sadhaks in Dhyana. When the consciousness is liberated, whether in In the mind or other part, there the higher vital it is always this sense much easier to establish some kind of control over the wide infinite emptinessforces. From the top of the head to the throat That is the mental plane of the being—a similar opening and emptiness or wideness here is very reason why one should never put oneself into the sign control of the mind being freed into the Universal. From the throat to the stomach is the higher vital these forces or emotional regionmake oneself a free crossways for their passage. Below It is only by opening to the Mother's force alone that a control can be established over these lower vital planeworkings. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/3031/the-universallower-orvital-cosmic-consciousnessbeing#p39p41</ref>
==Delight of Existence: The Solution==<center>~</center>
=The True Psychic=This lower part of the being is always random, wayward, self-assertive and unwilling to accept the imposition on it of any order and discipline 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 a truly regenerating tapasya. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/the-lower-vital-being#p8</ref>
And yet <center>~</center> ...the true emotive soulhigher vital is usually much less difficult to surrender, for it is under the real psyche in us, is not a desire-soul, but a soul influence of pure love the mind and delight; but that, like the rest at times even of our true being, can only emerge when the deformation created by psychic; so it understands more easily. It is much easier to convert this than the life of desire lower vital which is removed from essentially the surface vital of desires and impulses. So, you see, what he means is no longer that the characteristic action of our beinglower vital can submit, it agrees to obey, to do what it is asked, but it is not at all satisfied. To get that done It is a necessary part of our purificationnot happy; sometimes it even suffers; it pushes its revolt down into itself through obedience, liberationbut it does not collaborate. And unless the vital collaborates with joy and true love, perfectionnothing can be done; the transformations cannot come. <ref>httphttps://incarnateword.in/cwsacwm/2406/the-instruments-of7-thejuly-spirit1954#p7p8</ref>
<center>~</center>
The full liberation can come ...the emotional mind compelled to us only by take note of all these discords and subject itself to their emotional reactions becomes a similar liberation hurtling field of joy and grief, love and hatred, wrath, fear, struggle, aspiration, disgust, likes, dislikes, indifferences, content, discontent, hopes, disappointments, gratitude, revenge and all the stupendous play of passion which is the drama of life in all the world. This chaos we call our partssoul. But the real soul, the universal aesthesisreal psychic entity which for the most part we see little of and only a small minority in mankind has developed, the universal standpoint is an instrument of knowledgepure love, joy and the universal detachment from all things luminous reaching out to fusion and yet sympathy unity with all God and our fellow-creatures. This psychic entity is covered up by the play of the mentalised Prana or desire-mind which we mistake for the soul; the emotional mind is unable to mirror the real soul in us, the Divine in our nervous hearts, and emotional beingis obliged instead to mirror the desire-mind. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/2123/delightthe-release-from-ofthe-heart-existenceand-the-solutionmind#p14p3</ref>
=More on Emotional Being=
 
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 also helps it to get rid of the narrowness and doubt which are the chief defects of the physical mind. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/the-physical-mind-and-sadhana#p31</ref>
 
<center>~</center>
 
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>
