Acharya Prashant (AP): He is asking, “Is being moody good or not?”
But what are these moods? Do you know what these moods are? You take water in a saucer, in a saucer, a plate, and the water is lying still but if you keep the saucer under this fan, what will happen to the surface of the water? What will happen?
Questioner (Q): Vibrations.
AP: Yes, there will be ripples that you are calling as vibrations. Some kind of wave formation, right?
This is what we call as moods – External event disturbing my inner peace. An outside event is dominating my mind. It is creating ripples. Now, is the water not becoming a slave of the external situation? Tell me.
Is it not better for the water to say, “My mood will be under my control. My control. I will not allow others' situations to affect me”? But that is not our story.
Our story is that, somebody says, “Hey! Looking gorgeous today.” And we work up such a nice mood. And somebody says, “Hey! Where did you get this haircut from? Take two rupees from me, get a better haircut.” And we feel as if we have been put in some sever.
