How to master our lower emotions?

A big task in the life on earth is to get above our lower feeling / nature and identify with our higher self. You can not get rid of this nature before the physical body dies, but you must try to master it before that time comes. A saint does this.

For a long time I thought i would get rid of sadness by crying, but the crying never stopped. I then tried to find the reason for it. I found a reason that was negative and therefor lacking truth. I have been crying because of a lack of something devine instead of cherishing the divine. I thought my father doesn't love me instead of thinking about the fact that God created me because God does. Even though my father doesn't show love he has it inside, like everyone else.  

We can not get rid of anger by expressing anger either, but to find the reason for it. Like with sadness, the reason is not based on Gods truth and can by seeing it be eliminated because it is weak and stupid. The same with fear. 

We make ourselves victims by believing something false like that someone has evil motives or by taking others actions personally. If we truly believe God loves us we will not take others actions as a proof that we are hated or/and of less value than we are, because God loves us no matter what happens.
