How do I know if my crying in worship is from negativity or from true devotional feeling?
Telling negativity from bhav in tears
Tears can come from a negative influence or from bhav (devotional feeling), and the body shows the difference. Full awareness with restlessness points to negativity, while rapture points to bhav.
If it is a negative influence, you will stay fully aware during the tears, you will know it completely, and there will be restlessness in the body. If the tears come from bhav (devotional feeling), there will be a rapture in the body.
