Swami Kriyananda discusses overcoming harmful emotions and emphasizes the importance of calmness and intuition. Harmful emotions, such as jealousy and fear, can cloud judgment and hinder progress. Kriyananda explains that emotions are essentially ruffled feelings, which need to be managed to maintain clarity of thought. Intuition, often linked to feelings, guides us in recognizing truth and making sound decisions. By calming emotions, we can achieve a higher state of awareness, allowing us to harness emotions constructively.

Kriyananda touches on ancient practices, such as yoga, which align energy within the body to promote mental clarity and emotional stability. Ultimately, the message is that by controlling emotions and fostering intuition, we can improve our relationships, achieve success, and maintain inner peace.
