"Creation has put a full orchestra inside you, free of charge. This makes life so much more interesting and vibrant. Learn to enjoy your heart by ceasing to resist it.
It's not about losing yourself in your emotions. It's about being willing to experience them in the same way you experience a beautiful sunset. You simply let the sunset come in. You're not doing anything. You are simply allowing awareness to be aware of what is in front of it.
Sometimes, it's a beautiful sunset. Sometimes, it's a sense of loss. The process is exactly the same: consciousness is experiencing an object of consciousness. You are not clinging to it or suppressing it. You are simply experiencing it.
If you cling to the object, it stays. If you suppress it, it stays. If it stays, it will distort reality. You are no longer open to life - you have a bias for certain things. These samskaras are powerful packets of energy. They distort your perception of life, and you constantly pay the price.
When thoughts and emotions are suppressed, they rot down there. They will pop up at different times and cause serious problems in your life. This is what Freud taught, and it was also taught thousands of years earlier in the Upanishads. Learning to make peace with your heart is a major step toward extricating yourself from the very human predicament we all find ourselves in."
