crying- natures medicine for well being

My mother loves to cry, she cries when she is happy, when she is sad, she cries when others are crying like watching the movies. She cries when she misses someone, she cries for many reasons or no reasons at all in my opinion. All our siblings love her for who she is, and guess what, comes to crying, we all take after her.

For a long time I could not understand about this crying business, not until my guru released the flood gate within me, now I understand. Be able to cry, is in sync with nature, is a blessing from existence. Crying is joy, is happiness, is healing, is a way to show that you miss home, the home where we all came from.

I often cried during my practice, during driving. I also often cried when I am absolutely still, like in meditation. Why I did not cry before I don't know, may be it is a social conditioning, you know, sign of weakness sort of things. I often see my guru cries, though he insisted that he does not do that in the public any more, he simply put his emotions behind. But I know he cries for our awakening, our sufferings, for carrying out the missions that his guru has given him, which is saving the souls of this world.

have you cried lately?

"one simple thing that can transform a human being is emotion. Your emotion can drag you into gutter or it can take you to the highest peak of consciousness"- Sadhguru
