Acharya Mahaprajna
Philosophers, scientists and doctors unanimously agree that the endocrines profoundly influence emotions and mental attitudes of a person.
Dr.MW.Kapp, M.D., writes in his book Glands - Our Invisible Guardians:
"Our jealousies, hates, fears, struggles for wealth, power, position, our lusts, and superstitions - all call upon the reserve supply of adrenal secretions - the fighting or energising secretion - until the glands are exhausted......"
Other glands also become distorted by overwork.
All passions and emotions are expressions of the endocrine glands. Their arousal due to recorded past will overload the system, and their work is disintegrated. Excessive secretion produces psychological distortions and weakens the glands. It is, therefore, necessary that we control and regulate the passions and emotions. The emotional impulses must be resolved by conscious reasoning to avoid the overloading and dysfunctioning of the system.
