How to Transcend Strong Emotions

Moojibaba offers grounding guidance to a devoted student seeking help. He encourages her to continue with the current exercise, saying that these fluctuations from person to presence are normal in the process of awakening.

“I’m not disappointed, because I know that we have to go through this. You have to taste failure. You have to taste what it’s like to be back in your mind when you’ve been in your heart. It doesn’t feel good, does it? But you know that’s not your real place.

There’s something in you that is not touched. It doesn’t belong to the world. It’s not touched by your moods or the world. It’s independent of that. That space is the only thing about you that’s permanent. This body will go. The mind will go. All these things will go except This.”
