The Impure Emotional States
The qualities inherent in the original and basic constitution of soul (Atma) are natural and pure (Svabhava-Bhava). When the soul (Atma) misses these natural qualities and experiences some other ones, then impure
and emotional states arise. Examples of the natural and basic qualities of soul are forgiveness, humbleness,
and contentment.
The reverse of these, including anger, pride, and
jealousy are impure emotional states of soul. The aim of an aspirant should be to
wash out these impure emotional states from the soul and to reveal its
pure qualities. It would therefore be beneficial to narrate and analyze
in brief the diffierent impure states or feelings that the soul is likely to
experience.
