Once we understand why an emotion arose,we may realize the situation didn’t warrant it—or at least not with such intensity.Maybe the person who seemed to disrespect uswas simply preoccupied—not intending to offend us at all.

 

At such times, wisdom lies in letting go of that emotion.

A powerful way to do so is to remember:the emotion is in me, but it is not me.Instead of saying, “I am angry,”say, “I see anger arising in my mind.”

 

The Bhagavad Gita (5.13) compares the body to a city in which we live.

Many visitors—thoughts and emotions—come and go,but we don’t need to host them;or even spend time with them. 

We can politely acknowledge the emotion,as we might nod at a passerby,and then turn our attention elsewhere.

 

As our attention moves on, the emotion loses its energy—and like an uninvited guest ignored long enough,it quietly leaves.
