Anger

are weak and lack personality. There should not be any
weakness. One should have good conduct. One must have a
flawless personality. Even thugs will run away at the sight of
such a person. No one will run away from an angry person. On
the contrary they may even beat him up. The whole world
strikes at the weak.
When can one acquire such a personality? He will acquire
such a personality when he understands the spiritual science of
the Self. In this world, the relative knowledge is forgotten,
whereas the science of the Self remains with you.
FROST IS MORE DEADLY THAN HEAT
Dadashri : When there is frost or an ice storm, it gets so
cold that it burns the grass, the trees, and all the crops. Why
do you think everything burns when it gets cold?
Questioner : Everything burns because of extreme cold.
Dadashri : Yes, so if you live calmly and remain cool,
you will become more effective.
DIGNITY WHERE ANGER CEASES
Questioner : But Dada, is it not a weakness to be too
calm?
Dadashri : We have to remain within limits. That is called
normality. “Below normal is the fever, above normal is the fever,
and ninety-eight degrees is the normal”. Therefore only normality
is required.
People are more fearful of those who do not get angry as
opposed to those who do. Why is that so? It is because one
develops inner strength when anger ceases. This is the law of
nature. Otherwise, there would be no one to protect such people.
People use anger as a form of protection. In ignorance (ignorance
of one’s real Self), one’s protection is through anger.
