We cannot ignore or escape…Anger
When we are angry
we become agitated:
lose all inner peace and tranquility
bring agitation to others
increase the negativity around
So avoid thoughts and situations
that can cause anger.
Anger arises from:
An expectation not fulfilled
An ego hurt
While it is not possible to live without
expectation…
We can be free from the dependence on
other people for the fulfillment of desires.
How can we overcome anger?
First…be aware of it.
With awareness, in time anger will either
drop to a MINIMUM, or not rise at all.
NEXT become aware of the harm
caused by giving in to anger:
The effects of anger are even worse
than physical death.
The more we express anger the
more we suffer.
The angry person dies continually to
his higher Self.
ASK: “What do I want out of life?”
“Do I gain anything from anger?”
“Anger is a losing proposition, so
why keep it?
The most precious wealth we have is
peace of mind.
To protect this peace…
…we have to remain determined
to not part easily with this wealth.
The key to VICTORY is…REMAIN ALERT
and WIN OVER the exact moment when
ANGER RISES!
