The dynamics of emotions find its closest parallels within few scientific laws. Newton‘s first law of motion, elucidates that an object at rest remains at rest while an object in motion persists in its trajectory at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force.
Our emotions, like moving objects, behove us to enact internal changes in our thoughts, for an attempt to confine them within would be like trapping an enraged cat in a closed room.
Our troubles get further accentuated by an additional ‘Law of Momentum’ conceived by the French Scientist, Descartes, which postulates that a body’s momentum not only depends on its velocity but also on its mass; here the number of thoughts that hit us like a tornado simultaneously.
However, amid this disarray, there exists a glimmer of hope, in accordance with the Law of Conservation of energy, first propounded by Emilie Du Chatelet, a French philosopher and physicist. It stipulates that energy is impervious to destruction but can metamorphose into alternate forms of energy, implying that negative energy in the form of emotions can be transmuted into positive emotions.
As Krishn asserts in Dhyan Yog, “When the mind is perturbed, tumultuous, and unstable, it ought to be governed by the yogic discipline.
