Emacslient is the way:
http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/EmacsClient
If you have an emacs running you can open files within the bash with
emacslient foofile
You have to activate emacs server with putting (server-start) to your
~/.emacs for example. Or to give a try type M-x server-start from
within emacs.
