Anger
THE WAY TO CONQUER ANGER
The external activities of the world : the thoughts, speech,
and acts of human beings do not change. However, if one
changes his bhaav (deep inner intention), then it is enough.
People say they want to stop their anger. One cannot
stop it immediately. Firstly, he must recognize what anger is and
the causes behind it are. How is it born and who are its parents?
All this has to be determined even before anger is understood.
LIBERATION AT THE HANDS OF THE LIBERATED
Do you want to be rid of your weaknesses? Tell me what
you want to get rid of. Make a list. Are you bound by anger,
pride, attachment, and greed?
Questioner : Yes.
Dadashri : How can a person who is bound, free himself?
How can someone whose arms and legs are tied up tightly
become free?
Questioner : He has to get help from someone.
Dadashri : Should he seek the help of someone who
himself is tied up?
Questioner : He should get help from someone who is
free to help.
Dadashri : Yes, you have to ask help from a person
who is free.
THE FOOD OF ANGER, PRIDE, ATTACHMENT
AND GREED
There are many people who have some awareness and
insight into their anger. They say that they do not like the anger
that develops within them. Many on the other hand believe that
unless they get angry, they will not accomplish anything.
