How can we control our innate anger? Why should we make efforts to control it?
"When you find anger rising within you, you may withdraw from the place to provide time for cooling your emotions. Or you may drink a glass of cold water and sit quietly in a place. Or, take a brisk walk for a mile to get over your anger. Or, stand before a mirror and look at your face. By any one of these methods, your anger will gradually come down. Do not, however, stay near the person who has provoked your anger, because there is no limit to what anger may lead you to. Owing to anger and agitation, the blood gets heated up. It takes three months for the blood to cool down. Within that period, the nerves become weaker and even the blood cells get destroyed. Weakness is aggravated and the memory power is reduced. Old age sets in prematurely. All the aberrations that we witness today among men arise from anger. Our entire daily life is filled with anger!"
~ Sri Sathya Sai Baba ~`
(Divine Discourse - 22.4.1985)
You should control anger and avoid talking or acting while in an angry mood. - BABA
