Anger comes when our expectations in life are not fulfilled. We seethe with anger when we feel we are wronged by another person; when we feel injustice is done to us. We do work with expectations and seek reward by way of appreciation. When we don’t get it we are angry. Our weakness makes us angry. Others take advantage of our weakness and we are not able to protect ourselves. Anger boils in us and we either hold it within us or we hit out at a person who is weaker than us. We use anger to justify the wrongs we have done or the addictions that enslave us. Most of the time, anger and bluster are cover ups for weaknesses. When we lack understanding and we misunderstand people or circumstances, we cause ourselves anger and grief. Genuine anger at the pain of others is a great strength which makes an ordinary Mohandas into Mahatma- the Father of the Nation. But such anger is rare. We wallow in the little pool of resentments and irritations most of our lives and make ourselves miserable and the lives of others around us wretched.
We all know that anger is not good and we should not get angry. Anger damages our body and mind. It colours our thinking and speech. We lose rationality, logic and sense of justice when we are angry. There is no balance of greys. Everything appears black and white in our vision. This is dangerous as life is shades of grey- some whiter than others. We hurl words that we should not speak and hurt others. In anger, we take actions which we should not. We do immeasurable damage to ourselves and others. Later on we repent but by then it is too late. Wounds caused by words don’t heal well. They fester for years within us. Such festering sores provoke further actions of anger and revenge. And the cycle never ends.
How can we control anger? Understand the causes of your anger. Take a positive stand against your anger. Offer the fruits of your work to God and Guru and accept rewards which come your way as divine blessings. Live without expectations. Do not let your ego manufacture mountains of out molehills. Understand that Earth does not revolve around you but around the Sun. Know that you are a part of the Cosmic Drama and you are here to be loving, compassionate and helpful to all. You are a divine being on an earthly sojourn and not a being who wastes his life wallowing in anger and miseries.
Make a strong intent never to hurt anyone by words. There is great power in prayers. Pray to God and Guru that you should be sweet and truthful in speech and that your words should console and comfort others and not hurt anyone. Do the Sita Ram Japa daily. As you do regular sadhana with the mantra you will find a transformation taking place in you. There is a gap of few moments in between the time your anger manifests and the time you react. In this gap, the sane voice of conscience will speak out and ask you to calm down. The vibrations from Sita Ram are so strong and powerful that they empower this voice to blare out aloud and force you to hear it. SitaRam Mantra gives you strength to overcome anger and let it go. The SitaRam will not permit the anger vibrations to rise up towards the brain and hit the brain and damage the brain and the entire system. Instead the vibrations of anger are transformed by SitaRam. The anger vibrations become one with the SitaRam and they flow downwards in all parts of the body healing the body and making it wholesome. The force and energy of anger are transformed by the vibrations of SitaRam Mantra and this new energy will improve your health, give you energy and direction for work and revolutionize your life!
Nothing is as effective in controlling anger as the vibrations of SitaRam Mantra. Never miss out japa even once. Make opportunities for doing more japa of SitaRam Mantra daily. A time comes when your anger lasts for split seconds and then you are sane and balanced. Then the full power of the SitaRam Mantra will directly get used for your health, welfare and transformation instead of being used for overcome your anger issues.
