CONTROL ANGER

Posted by Teachings of Swami Sivananda on June 10, 2012 at 7:00pm
Control of anger is indispensable for the practice of ethics. Anger is your dire enemy; it is the enemy of peace, wisdom and devotion. It is born of Rajas. All actions proceed from this evil quality. It is one of the three gates to hell. It is the slayer of austerities. Therefore, control anger through forgiveness and patience. Indulge not thyself in the passion of' anger.
Bear slight provocation with patience; forgive the faults of others. Forget not your own defects and weaknesses. Forget the injustice done to you by others. This is the simplest way to control anger.
