Dear Bharath,
Extreme emotions, such as you are describing, come from thwarted desires.
Your emotions have control over your inner divine Self.
Yoga, meditation, introspection, and developing the heart’s natural love are the only answer. Through yoga practices you can develop control of your self and eliminate binding desires.
When you begin to feel this emotion, concentrate at the point between the eyebrows, calling to Paramhansa Yogananda, our guru. He is ever present for those who call to him.
Concentrate on his presence there and pray to him to give you peace, harmony and love.
Do this practice 5 times a day for about 10 minutes.
Then immediately do something that will lift your consciousness so that you are no longer affected by the dark emotion or hatred.
Do not try to reason with this emotion, but raise your consciousness with Yogananda’s help. Doing serviceful activities are best, as by helping others you will feel better.
Contact our center in Gurgaon, India. There is an infinite amount of information and help you can receive through the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda, that are given by his disciples at the Ananda Sangha teaching center in Gurgaon.
Bless you. You have our prayers. Seva
