Anger
Questioner : After getting angry I realize that I should
not get angry.
Dadashri : No, but after you know who the knower is,
there would be no anger. Let’s say there are two identical
bottles standing side by side, and you are told that one has
medicine in it and the other has poison in it. Now if you mistake
one for the other, then you can conclude that you did not know.
If you do not mistake the one for the other, then you can say
that you do know. This would apply to anger as well. The
reason you become angry is because you do not know. You are
merely going around with ego when you say that you know. In
darkness you are likely to bump into things, but when there is
light and you can see clearly, you will not have any accidents.
When we confuse the darkness with light, it is our own mistake.
So come and sit in the Satsang with me and acquire the real
knowledge. Then only will anger, pride, attachment, and greed
go away.
Questioner : But everyone gets angry.
Dadashri : Ask this gentleman. He is saying no.
Questioner : There will be no anger after coming to
satsang.
Dadashri : What kind of medicine do you think he took?
It is a medicine that removes the root cause of anger.
ONLY THROUGH RIGHT UNDERSTANDING
Questioner : I get angry with people that are close to
me. The other person may be right according to his viewpoint,
but from my viewpoint I become very angry. What is the reason
for my anger?
Dadashri : If you are walking along and a stone from a
building falls on your head and hurts you, will you get angry?
Questioner : No, because it happened spontaneously.
