  • Weakness in the left side leaves us prone to emotional extremism, where we are thrown between elation and depression.
  • There is very little sense of self-discipline, and we become slaves to habits inculcated in us through conditioning.
  • We become very lethargic, retreating into passivity and self-obsession. Eventually the pressure on the brain grows too much to bear and there is a breakdown, culminating in lunacy, epilepsy, senile decay.

9. Left Side: Opening Up to Joy

  • The real and greatest quality of the left side is to give us joy (anand): The Spirit is always in joy.
  • Your priorities change automatically. Old habits and addictions are over and done with, given up without difficulty.
  • Everything created by nature gives a new meaning and one starts enjoying the genuine significance of every ripple of joy they emit.
