When we eat food, the body breaks down its components – the useful nutrients are digested and the waste is thrown out of body within 24 hours. If the waste is not thrown out, we get sick.
When we drink water – our body consumes whatever is necessary and the excess is thrown out along with impurities within few hours, or we will get sick.
The air we breathe in – body keeps the oxygen and the impure air is exhaled within few seconds, or else we will die.
But, what about negative emotions - like hatred, anger, jealousy, insecurity ... which we hold in our body for days, months and years?
If these negative emotions are not thrown out regularly, they can prop up into some psychosomatic diseases.
Today, we live in a world where tons of information on almost every subject is easily available on the net. We can find both sides of arguments – against or in favor of any concept, belief or popular notion. In fact, tons of information is constantly thrown at us whether we want it or not. The wise will choose what is good and useful, and reject the other.
Though, many a times, the 'other' or negative ideology, false rumors and some juicy gossip may sound interesting and amusing - but it can lead to destruction of peace- in our own mind and in society as well.
So, be wise – choose what is beneficial and helpful to you in achieving your aim, and reject what may deviate you from your path.
Sumiran, meditation, company of wise people and prayers are the best ways to dissolve these negative emotions.
