To Control Anger

 

Anger can be done away with by adopting the following methods:

 

1. One should feel the presence of the Lord Vasudeva everywhere.

When nothing but God will remain existent then who could be the

object of our anger?

 

2. When everything is the manifestation of God how can God be made

the object of one's anger? Everything being the manifestation of

God, I am the servant of all. God's will is predominant and it is He

who is the doer of everything.

 

3. By regarding oneself as the agent or the doer, one makes one's

self-surrender to God, faulty. The Lord is free to do whatever He

likes. I shall remain undisturbed. Such a feeling should be

entertained. It is desire that causes anger. There can be no anger

without desire.

 

4. Everything should be looked upon as if it were under the jaws of

the God of death. During the numbered days of our life why should I

be angry at all? The world is unstable, everything is doomed to

perish at the appointed time. The life's span is too short. Why

should we do a thing that may hurt someone?

 

5. If anger is aroused against elders, forgiveness should be sought

for. One should lie prostrate at his feet and even if he gives vent

to his anger one should fall at his feet and should either remain

silent or should hold conversation with a cheerful countenance and a

happy heart.

 

6. If the anger is directed to one, younger in years, the expression

of anger should be in his interest and merely assumed one, should

give up one's selfish motive; for desire is the root cause of anger,

so much methods should be adopted as may eschew desires altogether.

This cannot easily be done without reflecting upon the aspect of God

and His names.
