This tree branch is broken; my energy responds to it, but my emotions do not. Sometimes I allow myself the luxury of responding emotionally also. It’s a luxury for me. Once in a while I allow myself to respond emotionally also to some type of suffering around me; otherwise, I don’t emotionally respond to any suffering around me. This is coming because there is enough control over the situation. There was a time when, if I just looked at anybody’s face on the streets, just seeing that they are not happy enough would bring tears to my eyes. Once it becomes so deep that you start responding to every life and whatever is happening, then there is no way to exist here. You have to dissolve; that’s all there is. So naturally you will come to a deeper understanding within yourself, that psychologically and emotionally you don’t respond anymore. On a much deeper level you naturally respond, but it is no more emotional and psychological, and it is good. It’s a big step ahead in life, not responding to things emotionally and psychologically, not because you are putting up a barrier between you and their suffering. You’re very much open to their suffering, you are very much a part of it, but still, emotionally and psychologically you do not suffer, or you are not disturbed on that level.
