Material emotions like desire, anger, fear, and jealousy (kama, krodha…) arise from craving for worldly pleasures and cause mental distress. In contrast, spiritual emotions such as longing for God, compassion, and the quest for realization purify the mind (chitta shuddhi). While material emotions lead to mental pollution, spiritual emotions elevate and cleanse one’s inner self. in life.
