What an interesting question! I suspect both. In my limited research,
however, I get the feeling the East is more realistic than the West about
what actually happens to emotions during spiritual development (see Lobster's
post). Somehow we've got the idea that spiritual aspirants will become
completely smooth and inhuman. We, for all our ranting, are actually ashamed
of being emotional creatures which really muddies up the process of learning
how use/accept feelings. We hop on the spiritual path to try to get rid of
these pesky emotions and regard those who show emotion as spiritual failures
(especially ourselves). But, to paraphrase somebody (probably Mystress), God
is just as present in a rant as a kiss and to miss this point is to miss the
utter amazingness of the non-dual view. Holly
