Guest guest Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Namaste, Sri Sadanandaji, all Thank you for your note on Anger. Anger, like any other emotion, does not ask anyone’s permission, it takes place. However, person to person it varies, i.e. in degree. When we say desires/expectations are not fulfilled disappointment takes place which alone i.e. such disappointments, lets anger to take place. There is a difference, although very slight between desires and expectations, (i.e. kama and prateeksha). Expectations generally have their base on pre-conceived notions, and it is based on such notions only one expects things/situations to be such and such or people to behave in such and such manner. Like continuous thinking about an object creates attachment and desire for that object, pre-conceived-notions recorded in our minds, results in expectations.  Ignorance alone is the cause for such notions and when self knowledge takes place all notions disappear, although they may appear from time to time due to habitual error. It is my conviction that with Atma Gnana, one can not only manage emotions very well but in due course get over emotions.  I came across another short article, maybe a little irrelevant, related to Anger, which is copied below: =========================================  “A saint asked his disciples, 'Why do we shout in anger? Why do people shout at each other when they are upset?'  Disciples thought for a while, one of them said, 'Because we lose our calm, we shout for that.'  'But, why to shout when the other person is just next to you?' asked the saint. 'Isn't it possible to speak to him or her with a soft voice? Why do you shout at a person when you're angry?'  Disciples gave some other answers but none satisfied the saint.  Finally he explained, 'When two people are angry at each other, their hearts distance a lot. To cover that distance they must shout to be able to hear each other. The angrier they are, the stronger they will have to shout to hear each other through that great distance.'  Then the saint asked, 'What happens when two people fall in love? They don't shout at each other but talk softly, why? Because their hearts are very close. The distance between them is very small...'  The saint continued, 'When they love each other even more, what happens? They do not speak, only whisper and they get even closer to each other in their love. Finally they even need not whisper, they only look at each other and that's all. That is how close two people are when they love each other.' MORAL: When you argue do not let your hearts get distant, do not say words that distance each other†===================================== Kind regards to all Mani    Explore and discover exciting holidays and getaways with India Travel http://in.travel./ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 I wd like to quote from Rabindranath Tagore about anger,here,for the benefits of all:- Tagore had instructed his driver to be present sharp at 7 AM next day as he had to go for an imp function.Tagore was ready at 6:45..The driver didnt turn up..7..,8..,9..No he didnt come at all..a furious(angry Tagore)managed to go thro someother means.. Next day evening the driver came to see Tagore.. Tagore blasted him left and right and dindt allow the 'driver even to speak' for the next 15 mts.. a sobbing driver, when there was silence after Tagore's outburst said " Sir,I lost my Child Yday..I had to bury him..I didnt even know how to convey this to you Sir..Only to convey this tragic news I came in person " ..he said.. Tagore says " never before in my life I felt so humbled..Tagore wept uncontrollably and apologised profusedly to the driver and gave him enough money to go and do all the 10 day rituals.. He says " never in my life I wd lose my temper after this incident!

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 Dear Tony ,  Off the track :  Often the anger or krodha that we see in others is just a reflection of the same pent up feeling that resides within us. When we are at peace , the anger in others does not affect us at all !

Namast RSM, I don't want to get into the realms of psychology here,,,but let me just say this.........the ego within oneself is the trigger for anger in oneself or influenced by others...for if there was no ego who in fact would get angry?..Many people may have pent up anger or frustration for various reasons, and then something in somebody else triggers the ego reaction...............Cheers Tony.

Amongst the three classification of an ordinary normal human being with no personality dis-orders,i think you have given an awesome explanation. but,i am beginning to think,what if one has multiple-personality,inherent within them,what then triggers the ego? i think this ego will vanish,when the true self realises as the only true self existing in universe.=brahman. suresh.
