Anger
15
servant were to break something, then what? Even if people
understood with their buddhi (intellect), it would suffice! If the
buddhi had been developed and molded with understanding,
then there would be no arguments. Will the scolding help restore
the damage? It only gives one a little satisfaction. Moreover,
there is bickering and mental stress involved in it.
In the above situation, one has not only incurred a loss
from the broken cups, but also a loss from inner restless has
been created. Thirdly, a loss has occurred because of hostility
created towards the servant. The servant thinks that he is being
cruelly treated because he is poor. He will harbor hostility and
will bind revenge karma for next life. God has said that one
should not bind vengeance with anyone. Where possible, bind
love but do not bind hostility. If you bind love, then that love
itself will destroy the hostility. Love overcomes hatred. Vengeance
will breed vengeance and it will continue to do so forever.
Vengeance is the reason for the endless wanderings life after
life. Why do these human beings wander endlessly?
What obstacles arise? Where do the obstructions arise?
We should destroy them. It is because of one’s shortsightedness
that he encounters obstructions. The Gnani Purush gives you the
‘long-sight’ that will enable you to see things exactly the way
they are.
WHEN ONE GETS ANGRY WITH CHILDREN…
Questioner : What should I do when I become angry
with my child ?
Dadashri : Anger happens because of lack of
understanding. If you ask your child how he feels when you get
angry, he will tell you that it hurts him. He is hurt and you are
too. Is there a need to get angry with the child? If it benefited
him, then you could continue with it, but if the consequences are
bad, then what is the point of being angry ?
