He taught that anger is the natural response to perceived injustice. It is energy to right the perceived wrong. (He didn't actually mention "perceived"--that's my addition after a few years of studying and learning. Of course, now it is easier for this child to see that the ego can easily see something as unfair and get very carried away with anger to make it just, when God's justice might be beyond understanding.) Anyway, he said that anger that does not get expressed and gets trapped in the being turns into rage and that is very destructive. And that is what I was referring to. Expressions of anger by women are discouraged. The liver stores anger. Unreleased anger can eat us up and cause cancer, etc. So yes, "letting go of anger" in appropriate ways, especially with Amma's help, is divine.

Om Amriteshvaryai Namah. premarupa In order to make nonviolence, which is a physical expression of compassion, a reality, we must first work on internal disarmament and then proceed to work on external disarmament.
