Emotional world and Physical world

It seems we live in two worlds - emotional world and physical world.

Physical world are the objects for which we have emotions. For example- body, parents, wife, son, siblings, friends, house, city, possessions etc.
Emotional world consists of emotions we have for the physical world, and also imaginations for its future, and pasts. The imaginations for the future would include our possible planning for the future, bracing ourselves for unexpected incidents etc.

In our journey of life through various births and deaths- it is the emotional world and its consequences (karma) which we carry along, and not the physical one. For example: When we do good to someone because of love or compassion- It is not the 'someone' who goes along with us, but the emotions of love or compassion goes along with us.

When we hate someone and want to do bad to him. It is not the 'Him' who will go along- but just the consequesnces of emotions.

Then whey do hate or love someone ---- ? It does not make sense in the world where soul in inherently detached because of no longterm attachments.

On other angle, our physical world today is manifestation of what our emotional world was in the past. When someone do good to us- it is not 'someone' who is doing good- but our Punya who is doing good. And when Punya ends, the 'someone' shows his/her bad face. And because of 'not having wisdom' we start blaming him/her, and not hold my past emotional world responsible for it. If we start our past emotional world responsible, then we would only want to go emotionalless from there.

When one understands this secret- his love and hate towards physical world starts diminishing. And therefore emotional world also starts diminishing. And the pure sublime rises, bringing endless bliss and knowledge .
