Emotions cannot be permanent. That’s why they are called “emotions”- the word comes from “motion,” movement. They move; hence, they are “emotions.” From one to another you continually change. This moment you are sad, that moment you are happy; this moment you are angry, that moment you are compassionate. This moment you are loving, other moment full of hatred; this morning was beautiful, the evening is ugly. And this goes on. This cannot be your nature, because behind all this changes some thing is needed like a thread that holds all of them together.
In a garland you see flowers, but you don’t see the thread. These emotions are like the flowers of a garland. Sometimes angry flower, sometimes sadness flowers, sometimes happiness, sometimes pain, sometimes anguish. These are the flowers, and your whole life is a garland. There must be a thread; otherwise you would have fallen apart long ago.
