Emotional Intelligence
By conscious effort of the mind
we can stand aloof from actions and
their consequences
and all things, good and bad
go by us like a torrent!
I may be either the driftwood
In the stream,
Or Indra in the sky
Looking down on it
I may be affected by a theatrical exhibition
On other hand,
I may not be affected by an actual event
Which appears to concern me much more
…
I am sensible of a certain
Doublness by which
I can stand as remote from myself
As from another
However intense my experience
I am, conscious of the presence and
Criticism of a part of me
Which as it were
Is not part of me
But spectator
Sharing no experience
But taking note of it
And that it is no more “I” than it is “You”
My note:
This is the best example of how to be emotionally intelligent!
Be an observer of yourself - in real-time!
Imagine as if your guru is watching you behave!
Imagine as if there is closed-circuit camera recording you
How will you behave then?
Stand as remote from yourself as if you are looking at another!
