What happens when I experience deep emotional responses during recitations?

When deep emotions arise during recitations, it signifies that your heart has embraced the essence of the rishi before your intellect could grasp it; let the heart be the master and allow its waves to transform you.

— Osho
According to Osho, when deep emotion or tears arise during recitations, it means your heart has received the rishi’s living essence before the intellect could. This is not madness but sacred receptivitysatsang honors such tears. Let the heart be master and the mind its servant; once the heart is drenched, understanding follows naturally. Don’t defend; stay open, and allow the wave of feeling to transform you.

Your tears mean your heart understood the truth in the verses before your head did—and that’s a good thing.
