Hashi: How do our feelings or emotional reactions in dreams reflect our soul's feelings?

Sri Chinmoy: The soul proper is not affected by our emotional actions and reactions. When we use the term emotion , usually we are referring to vital emotion, and this cannot affect the soul. But if the soul enters into the plane of the lower vital and accepts the emotional life of the vital world as its very own and becomes part and parcel of it, then it is affected. If the soul enters into the vital plane and makes the vital plane feel it is ready to deal with its emotional problems, then the soul puts aside its own divinity and can suffer from the emotional problems of the vital life. But if the soul wants to remain aloof and separate, it can. There is no danger to the soul s light; it is eternally pure. If the soul remains in its own plane, then it will not be affected.
