Thoughts are fine... emotions are fine... efforts are fine. For example, all three are present when one is looking at the most common area called sex.
Feeling these thoughts, emotions, and efforts to the deepest level is possible only when one can still maintain a distance while feeling and observing them, and not just becoming them.
Becoming them would mean one is overwhelmed by them... one's self-control is then compromised... and as gomorrhan said, that isn't healthy.

It may not be healthy, but I've not heard of anyone complaining about becoming overwhelmed by becoming out of control on the subject of sex. And why would someone want to be 'in control' at all times in life? Life just isn't like that. Even enlightened beings feel these things. They may not become these deep emotions on that level, but sex is physical also, how would one go about trying to be 'at a distance' and 'observing' sex when they are supposed to be making love with another human? :confused2:
