ANGER
Hi Friends,
Today let me talk about anger. In ‘Sanskrit’ anger is called ‘KRODH’.
.
क्रोध = क + रोध
= सुख + रूकावट
= यानि सुख मे रूकावट
W.Shakespere defines: Anger is my meat; I sup upon myself.
Indian wisdom defines: Anger is fire which burns both, object as well as subject.
So anger is a trait, which (e)nrage a person and its range is from slight irritation (abuse/ bad gesture) to intense fury ( physical violence).
1. Means anger is always aggressive and it can exist only through some kind of aggression.
2. Anger is always present hiding somewhere inside our body and trying to surface outside.
3. It is simply hunger which gets converted to frustration and finally to anger.
4. Modern man is not happy with his present status and situation so he is always in anxiety and discontentment. Prior situation of anger.
5. Anger is energy and the sudden outburst of this energy causes violence of somekind. That is the reason people can do miraculous acts which are not possible in normal state.
6. Mostly its nature is destructive.
7. Showing anger has become sign of authority.
8. But as every monster can be tamed with understanding, training and practice – so is anger. With watching, witnessing and awareness anger can be made to disappear.
9. And when anger disappears its energy is released and is transformed into love and compassion.
10. There are few things which can not be done by any one else for us or on our behalf (even God can’t do – God can help your efforts). And those are the most precious things only we can do. And watching, witnessing and awareness come in those few things.
11. Anger is bad for self, others and to the existence. contd. on next page
Mechanism and Dynamics of Anger
Some object outside, bitter and traumatic memories of past, urge to settle old scores, hurting of ego and frustration activates the switch of anger and production of certain chemicals/ hormones – adrenaline and noradrenalin are released into our system.
Physiological and Biological changes
Rise in B.P. and heart rate, clenching of fists, pressing of teethes, urge of biting and hitting with body parts or with some external objects, scratching with nails etc. etc.
If the situation allows we act immediately, otherwise act is postponed to be executed in future with proper thinking, planning.
Why it is uncontrollable
The most troublesome fact is that anger surfaces without warning and so quickly
(B’coz of our long nurturing of the old habit) that, when the person realizes the situation, action has already taken place. And worst part is, because of repetition it has become our reflux action or our second nature.
From media it has become known that even a simple act of no significance or words (which were considered normal just 10-15 yrs. back) angers even a socalled educated person of our diseased society to flare up violently. Amount of violence goes on increasing, be it a school, college, home, office or traveling or marketplace. Most surprising thing is even females and school kids who were so cool just 10-15 yrs. back are openly indulging in this trait.
And still most astonishing thing is people are refusing to feel sorry and to accept that their intolerance level and reasoning levels have come to nadir. Even small kids rationalize their actions and shamelessly accuse other person responsible for the situation and their pathological behavior. Modern man is so cunning that by deceiving others continuously, have become skillful in deceiving that he goes on deceiving even himself and his near and dear ones. The skill has become so ingrained in his system that now, no conscious deliberate effort is needed – so much so that it has become his second nature.
Anger has reached to every corner of the society one can think and imagine. Counseling has failed .What can be the reason ?
- Suppression of the anger from childhood.
- Competition from the day one; ambition; will to succeed at any cost; celebrity status; discontentment; pride; jealousy; hunger for power, money and status. Disparity among people has reached optimum level.
- Depiction of violence in special news channels and all entertainment programmes, movies, video games for kids, head lines on front pages and other pages of each and every news paper.
- Whole world has become a market and moral and means of the market is money – achieved by any means at any cost with only one care, not to be caught red handed. contd. next page
- Bribery and corruption have become moral and religion of the present day society.
- Money – Sex – Drugs have become new ‘Trinity’ – ‘Brahma – Vishnu – Mahesh.’
All this have made man to be an egotistic monster and reduced him to a machine. And machines do not have heart and its feelings – Machines have only body and mind.
Spiritual (not religious) thinkers and well wishers of the life should sit together and must find a solution. BALANCE OF MATERIALISM AND SPIRITUALISM has become dangerously unbalanced, almost lost. Distance has increased, bridge has fallen. Need of the hour is to restore the balance and new much lengthier, wider and reinforced bridge has to be made with hybrid technology of ‘ East’ and ‘ west’.
Clock of materialism has to be made slower and clock of spiritualism is to be made faster.
Moral:
- Use i-pill for ego and desires as they are never barren and hate birth control so wants to remain eternally pregnant.
- Welcome whatever comes and let go whatever goes.
- Feel the presence of supreme consciousness and awaken self-consciousness and let it merge into supreme consciousness so that both become one and whole and start vibrating with the universal energy of the cosmos.
Thanks for reading and feel free to forward it to your near and dear ones.
