I never get angry.. I never get sad?!?!?

I don't know about you.. Atleast I am not the person who never gets sad.. never gets angry or never has any negative emotion cropping inside me! Surprised?

Interestingly... Lots of people in the Art of Living... when you share with them.. Ohh I feel little saddy today.. or I don't feel good.. the reply that you get is... Ohh how can you feel that! Do meditation... do this do that...! When I was new to the Art of Living.. I thought.. is there some problem with me? I do meditation.. Kriya.. this that.. Why do i feel sad?

I remember in those days (some 3 yrs ago)One person.. whom I consider my 'immediate Guru'.. I asked her.. Are you always happy? She answered I go through all the emotions in one single day!

I did not understand her reply. I remember answering her "Smart reply!"

I understood her reply.. only when I experienced it myself! :D

Before I was into the Art of Living - I felt sad even then.. (However I was a very angry person in those days.. who has gone away miraculously :D :D)

But now.. the difference is I know when I am sad.. I know that I am angry.. This can be tricky to understand at first. Then a stage will come.. when you know you are sad before you are sad! and you know its time to show your anger but not be angry!

We are humans after all... emotions come.. emotions go... so what! Just be aware of them.. If someone claims.. that he/she is always happy.. they only mean.. they are aware of their emotions.. and hence they are happy!

Life is such a beautiful movie... inside.. if you observe your emotions.. And it is a comedy movie... A time will come when emotion/mind will tell you.. "Arey isko bewakoof nahi bana paa raha hun! (I am not able to fool you anymore!)"

How to figure out if your anger is healthy or not. Just be aware that you are angry. Sometimes you have to show your anger.. you can't be goody goody all the time.. that is ignorant's love. Now becoming aware of your anger does not mean.. ok you became angry and then you realised you are angry! Becoming aware.. means.. just know that this is the time you have to show your anger.. Even after showing your anger, if you are able to do all the things calmly, that is healthy anger! Being angry is nothing but a reaction.. Showing your anger is a response. whenever you react, you are in a mess.. (look at your past)... whatever you do after reacting.. there is a chaos.. there is a repent. But when you know you have to show your anger.. you won't react.. you are in full control of your emotion.

Now this does not mean.. ok I will plan to show my anger on someone.. I am aware.. and in 5 minutes I will show my anger :P

This is like.. a dog is shown a bone.. and he is fully planned till he is restricted with a belt.. but once the neck belt is removed.. he is gonna let his emotions take over him and run towards the bone.. and snatch it..! That is once the moment comes.. you will react! Anger is necessary.. when inspite of lots of explaining.. lots of efforts.. the person is doing the same wrong thing*! That time show your anger.. but don't be angry...

You know what I do.. Any negative emotion that mind tells me.. I look it as a person.. I see that this person is telling me.. "come lets become sad.. lets become angry.." as if the person is saying.. "look so and so person said this and that to you!" And i just tell that person(mind) "hey thanks for sharing.. now you can go :D"

Just look at these negative emotions.. and they dissolve automatically... :)
