ANGER -Dada Bhagwan More extraordinary than Anger Is The Power of 'Sheel! Anger, prido, attachment and greed are nothing but weaknesses. If one were strong, would he feel the need to display anger? But one tries to control others using the intensity of anger. Surely the person that has no anger has something! The behavior of such a person is called sheel. Even animals will be subdued in the presence of such a person. Lions, tigers, all one's enemies and even an entire army can be controlled by it. Dadashri

PREFACE and bind vengeance against us, so that in our next life we will have to suffer the consequences. Anger is a weakness but people think of it as strength. The person who does not display anger has more inner strength than the one who displays it. When parents become angry with their children and when a guru becomes angry with his disciples, they bind punya (merit karma). This is because their aim is to improve their children and disciples respectively. If one were to do it for selfish reasons then he would bind paap (bad karma). This is the teaching of the Enlightened Ones. One usually becomes angry when things do not go his way, or when the other person does not understand him or when there is a difference of viewpoint. Many a time we become angry when we are accused of being wrong when we think we are right. We think that we are right because of our perception, and the other person thinks that he is right. Often, it is when we have no idea of what to do next, have no foresight or intuition, that we become angry. Anger, the subject dealt with in this book, is the most troublesome and overt of all inner human weaknesses. It is discussed extensively for clear understanding. It is our sincere hope that the readers will find this helpful in their endeavor to free themselves from the severe grip of anger. - Dr. Niruben Amin We become angry when we are insulted, incur a loss, protecting our pride or greed. If one is to become free from pride and greed, one needs to have awareness. What happens if the servant were to break a china tea set? If your son-inlaw were to do the same thing, would you not control your anger? Therefore, it is dependant on circumstances. Anger can only disappear if one understands that if someone ruins him, that person is merely a nimit (person instrumental in delivering the effects of his past karma) and that what one is experiencing is the result of his past life's karma. We should be aware whenever and wherever we experience anger. When someone is hurt by our anger, we should repent and ask for their forgiveness and resolve never to get angry again. We must do this because the person we become angry towards will be hurt and will harbor a grudge

NOTE ABOUT THIS TRANSLATION Introduction of 'The Gnani' Ambalal M. Patel, Gnani Purush, also commonly known as Dadashri or Dada, always used to say that it is not possible to exactly translate his satsang about the Science of SelfRealization and the art of worldly interaction into English. Some of the depth of meaning would be lost. He stressed the importance of learning Gujarati to precisely understand all his teachings. Dadashri did however grant his blessings to convey his teachings to the world through translations in English and other languages. One June evening in 1958 at around six o'clock, Ambalal Muljibhai Patel, a family man and contractor by profession, was sitting on a bench of platform number three at Surat train station. Surat is a city in south Gujarat, a western state in India. What happened within the next forty-eight minutes was phenomenal. Spontaneous Self-realization occurred within Ambalal M. Patel. During this, his ego melted totally and completely. From that time, onwards he became completely detached from all thoughts, speech and acts of Ambalal and he became a living instrument of The Lord for salvation of the world through the path of knowledge. He called this Lord, Dada Bhagwan. "This Lord is fully manifested within me," he told, to all he met. Furthermore, he added that, "The same Lord, Dada Bhagwan exists in all living beings." The difference between you and me is that in me The Lord has manifested fully and in you he is yet to manifest. Who are we? What is God? Who runs this world? What is karma? What is liberation? etc. All the world's spiritual questions were answered. Thus, nature offered absolute vision to the world through the medium of Shree Ambalal Muljibhai Patel. This is a humble attempt to present to the world the essence of the teachings of Dadashri, the Gnani Purush. A lot of care has been taken to preserve the tone and message of the satsang. This is not a literal translation of his words. Many people have worked diligently for this work and we thank them all. This is an elementary introduction to the vast treasure of his teachings. Please note that any errors encountered in the translation are entirely those of the translators. Ambalal was born in Tarasali a suburb of the city of Baroda and raised in Bhadran, Central Gujarat. Although a contractor by profession, and married to Hiraba, his life at home and with the world was exemplary prior to his Self Realisation. After becoming, Self realized and attaining the state of a Gnani, (The Awakened One, Jnani in Hindi) his body became a public charitable trust. Throughout his whole life, he lived by the principle

that there should not be any business in religion, but in all business, there must be religion. In addition, he never took any money from anyone for his own use. He used the profits from his business to take his devotees for pilgrimage in various parts of India. His words became the foundation for a new, direct and step less path to realization called Akram Vignan. Through his divine, original scientific experiment (The Gnan Vidhi) he imparted this knowledge to others within two hours. Thousands have received his grace through this process and thousands continue to do so even now. He called it Akram Vignan (Step less Science, elevator path). Akram means without steps and kram means to rise step by step. Akram means lift or elevator path. Kram here means orderly, stepby-step spiritual progress. Akram is now recognized as a direct shortcut to the bliss of the Self. Current link for attaining the knowledge of Self realization (Atmagnan) "I am personally going to impart siddhis (special spiritual powers) to a few people. After I leave, will there not be a need for them? People of future generations will need this path, won't they?" - Dadashri Param Pujya Dadashri used to go from town to town and country-to-country to give satsang and impart the knowledge of the Self as well as knowledge of harmonious worldly interaction to all whom came to see him. In his final days in late 1987, he graced Dr. Niruben Amin with the siddhis (special spiritual powers) to continue his work. After Param Pujya Dadashri left his mortal body on January 2, 1988. Dr. Niruben continues his Work, travelling within India to cities and villages; and going abroad to the USA, Canada, UK and Africa. She is Dadashri's representative of Akram Vignan. She has been instrumental in expanding the key role of Akram Vignan as the simple and direct path to Self Realization for modern times. Thousands of spiritual seekers have taken advantage of this opportunity and are established in the experience of pure Soul while carrying out their worldly duties. They experience freedom, here and now while living their daily life. Who is Dada Bhagwan? When he explained others who 'Dada Bhagwan' is he would say: "What you see in front of you is not Dada Bhagwan'. What you see is 'A.M.Patel.' I am a Gnani Purush and the Lord that is manifested within, is 'Dada Bhagwan'. He is the Lord within. He is within you and everyone else. He has not yet manifested within you, whereas within me he is fully manifested. I myself am not a Bhagwan. I bow down to the Dada Bhagwan within Powerful words in scriptures help the seeker in increasing their desire for liberation and thus they represent the path. The knowledge of the Self is the final goal of all seekers. Without the knowledge of the Self there is no liberation. This knowledge of the Self (Atmagnan) does not exist in books. It exists in the heart of a Gnani. Hence, the knowledge of the Self can only be acquired by meeting a Gnani. Through the scientific approach of the Akram Vignan, even today one can attain Atma Gnan, but it can only occur by meeting a living Atma Gnani and receiving the Atma Gnan (Knowledge of The Self). Only a lit candle can light another candle ! me."

Then of course you are going to be right, you will not allow yourself to be wrong. The other person will think that he is right. Do you understand? THESE ARE ALL WEAKNESSES Questioner: Is it not good to feel an aversion towards injustice? Are we not justified in feeling angry when we clearly see injustice? Dadashri : Anger and hatred are weaknesses. The

Page #7
Anger Anger whole world has these weaknesses. Do you get angry if someone scolds you? Questioner : Yes I do. Dadashri : So is that a weakness or strength? badgering the weak and run away from the strong. There are very few people that protect the weak and stand up against the strong. This whole world keeps hurting the weak. At home the husband dominates the wife. If you beat a cow that is tied up, where will she go? What if you were to untie the cow and then beat her? She would either run away or fight back. Questioner : In certain situations it is necessary to become angry. Dadashri : No, no. Anger is a weakness. To say that anger is necessary in certain situations is a worldly notion. People make such statements because they are not able to get rid of their anger. A PERSON IS STRONG WHEN HE REMAINS UNAFFECTED A man who, despite being strong, does not harm his opponents, not even his enemy, is considered a powerful person. Is it not cowardliness when you get angry with someone who gets angry with you? I am saying that these inner enemies of man: anger, pride, attachment and greed are weaknesses. Why would a person who is strong need to get angry? People, however, try to control others with their anger. Those who do not use anger as a weapon have something else. That something else is sheel(extraordinary moral character). Sheel in a person subdues even animals. Lions, tigers and enemies will all surrender to such a person. Questioner: Would it not be considered cowardly to remain silent when someone insults you? THE ANGRY MAN IS A WEAKLING Dadashri : Not at all. To bear an insult is a sign of great strength. If someone were to swear at me right now, I would not have a single negative thought towards him. That is strength. All quibbling and quarrelling is weakness. To bear an insult calmly is a great strength. When such an insult is overcome just once, if one step is crossed in this manner, then you will get the strength to cross a hundred such steps. Do you understand? If the opponent is strong then the other party will become weak. That is the natural trend. When a weak person harasses us and we do not do anything in response, it is considered a great strength. In fact the weak should be protected and the strong people should be confronted. In this current time cycle, no such people are to be found. Nowadays people keep Questioner : But Dada, what should we do when someone gets angry with us? Dadashri : They will get angry. Is it under their control? Their inner machinery is not under their control. If it were under their control they would not let the machine overheat. To become even the slightest bit angry is like becoming a beast. One becomes transformed from a human being into a beast. People would not let such a thing happen, but what can they do when it is not under their control? The world is such that there is no reason at any given

Anger Anger we not voice our anger at him? time for any anger to take place. Even when children do not listen, there is no reason to become angry. Here you have to handle the situation by remaining calm. To become angry is a terrible weakness. Anger is the worst weakness of all. You should be sympathetic towards the person who becomes angry and understand that he does not have any control in this matter. You should feel compassion for the person who has no control over himself. Dadashri : He will not stop the beating even if you do get angry. Why would you get angry with him? He may beat you too. Talk to him calmly and explain to him that it is a weakness to react in anger. Questioner: Should we let him continue to beat the child? Dadashri : No, but you should ask him why he is beating the child. Try to make him understand. If you get angry with him, then this anger is your weakness. First and foremost you should not have the weakness within you. Those that do not have any weaknesses, have impressive personalities. When such people utter even a single word, everyone will listen to them readily. What does it mean to become angry? It is like setting fire to oneself and then setting others on fire. Once this match is struck, he burns in the flames and then destroys the other person. Therefore, if getting angry were under one's control, one would not get angry. Who likes to burn? If someone tells me that anger is necessary in this world, I would tell him there is never a reason for anger. Anger is a weakness and that is why it happens spontaneously. God has called it a weakness. God has said that a real man (Selfrealized) is the one who has no weakness of ego, anger, greed or attachment at all. These men that you see around you are weaklings, because they have no control over their anger and they do not know how to deal with it. Anger, ego, attachment and greed are all obvious weaknesses. Can you not feel your body tremble when you get angry? Questioner : Even the body is saying that anger is not good. Dadashri : Yes even the body tells us that it is wrong, when it trembles. Therefore, one should consider anger as a great weakness. PERSONALITY WITHOUT WEAKNESS OF ANGER Questioner : If we see a man beating a child, should Questioner : Perhaps they may not. Dadashri : They would not listen to you because you are weak and lack personality. There should not be any weakness. One should have good conduct. One must have a personality. Even thugs will run away at the sight of such a person. No one will run away from an angry person. On the contrary they may even beat him up. The whole world strikes at the weak. When can one acquire such a personality? He will acquire such a personality when he understands the spiritual science of the Self. In this world the relative knowledge gets forgotten, whereas the science of the Self remains with you. FROST IS MORE DEADLY THAN HEAT When there is frost or an ice storm, it gets so cold

Anger Anger that it burns the grass, the trees, and all the crops. Why do you think everything burns when it gets cold? Questioner : Everything burns because of extreme cold. Dadashri : Yes, so if you live calmly and remain cool, you will become more effective. DIGNITY WHERE ANGER CEASES If you ask a child whom does he likes the best in his family, he would say that he likes his mother the most because she does not get angry. The father undoubtedly comes last on his list because the father always gets angry. I would remind him that it is his father who provides everything for him, yet even then is he not the favorite. And the child would shake his head. Now tell me, we work hard, we feed them, we bring home the money and give it to them, and yet even then we come last. Questioner : But Dada, is it not a weakness to be too calm? ANGER IS BLINDNESS Questioner : What is the main reason behind a man's anger? Dadashri : We have to remain within limits. That is called normality. "Below normal is the fever, above normal is the fever, and ninety-eight is the normal". Therefore, only normality is required. People are more afraid of those who do not get angry as opposed to those who do. Why is it so? It is because one develops inner strength when anger ceases. This is the law of nature. Otherwise there would be no one to protect such people. People use anger as a form of protection. In ignorance (ignorance of one's real Self), one's protection is through anger. IRRITABLE PEOPLE ALWAYS LOSE Dadashri : He loses sight. When one does not see the wall, he bumps into it. In the same way, he cannot see from within, which is why anger occurs. When he cannot see what lies ahead of him, anger overcomes him. ANGER OCCURS WHERE THERE IS LACK OF INSIGHT When does anger take place? It is when his vision (darshan) becomes obscured, and his knowledge (gnan) is obstructed. The same happens when a person is overcome with pride. Questioner : Please illustrate this point with an example. Questioner : Reasonable annoyance or reasonable anger, is it not good? Dadashri : What do people call that? It is foolish to become irritated. Irritation is considered a weakness. If we ask the children, what their father is like, they would say that he is a very cranky person. Does this not discredit the father's reputation? Dadashri: Do people not ask you why you get angry? You would tell them that it was because you could not think clearly. Yes it is when people cannot think clearly that they get angry. Would they get angry if they were able to think?

Anger Anger that he has conquered the visible anger, discord. How are you rewarded when you get angry? First the sparks set you on fire and then you burn others. THE FIRE OF ANGER BURNS ONESELF AND THEN OTHERS SULKING IS ANGER Anger is like putting a lighted match to one's own home. Anger is setting fire to one's own home filled with hay. First his own house burns and then the neighbor's house. When a person sulks in anger, it is really anger itself. For example, if a husband and wife quarrel intensely in the night, so much anger is generated that they both lay awake restless, the entire night. In the morning the wife serves him tea by banging the teacup. The husband will then realize that she is still sulking. This is called anger. The sulking can last for any period of time. For some it may even be life-long. The father will not want to see the son's face and the son will not want to see the father's face. The sulking is apparent from the disgruntled look on one's face. What happens when a single match is thrown onto a haystack in a field? Questioner : It will burn. Dadashri : It is the same with anger. Whatever he had earned in two years, he will destroy in an instant by getting angry. Anger is a live fire. The person himself will not realize that he has destroyed everything, because the damage is not visible on the outside, but everything from within is destroyed. Part of whatever he has accumulated for the next life is expended. What happens if more is exhausted? As a human, he eats bread but in his next life, as an animal, he will have to eat grass. Sulking can be such that if someone were to insult me fifteen years ago, and I encounter him again today, the moment I lay eyes on him, I will remember everything from the past. That is taanton(the link of anger). Ordinarily people's sulking never goes away. Even renowned ascetics and monks sulk. If you were to provoke them and challenge their authority, they would not speak to you for weeks. This is taanto. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GUSSO (ANNOYANCE) AND KRODH (ANGER) Questioner : Dada what is the difference between annoyance and anger? Dadashri : Anger is associated with ego. When annoyance and ego get together, they result in anger. When a father gets annoyed with his children, it is not called anger, because it is not associated with the ego. Anger binds paap (bad karma), but the annoyance of a father will bind No man in this world has conquer anger. Anger has two parts. One part comes as discord and the other as restlessness. Discord is apparent to others and restlessness remains within, unseen by others. It is the discord part of anger that one has overcome when one claims to have conquered anger. However, in fact, as one part is suppressed, the other part increases. When a person claims to have conquered anger, his pride increases. In reality, anger has not been completely conquered, but perhaps one can say

Page #11
10 Anger Anger punyas (positive karma), because he is thinking about the welfare of his children. Anger is accompanied by the ego. When you get annoyed, do you feel bad from within? the answer to this. They do not know who the 'knower' is. This is what one needs to discover. If one can find the *knower', then all the weaknesses will go. It can only be called true knowledge, when all the weaknesses are destroyed. There are two kinds of krodh, maan, maaya and lobh (anger, pride, attachment and greed). KNOW THE CORRECT SOLUTION JUST ONCE One kind you can divert - nivarya. If you get angry with someone then from within you divert that anger and calm it down. If one were able to reach this stage, his worldly interactions would become very pleasant. The other kind of anger is one that cannot be diverted - anivarya. One tries very hard but from within the explosion still occurs. Such anger is anivarya. This anger injures the person himself as well as others. God has allowed a certain level of anger for the sadhus (sages, monks) so that they may uphold the austerity of their conduct, as long as it does not hurt anyone. My anger can hurt only me and not anyone else. That much anger has been permitted. Questioner: I still become angry even though I know that it is wrong to become angry. What is the solution? Dadashri : Who is it that knows? If you had the real knowledge just once, there would be no anger. But because you still become angry, it means that you do not know. There is ego in your saying that you know. Questioner : After getting angry I realize that I should not get angry. Dadashri : No, but after you know who the knower is, there would be no anger. Let us say, there are two identical bottles standing side by side and you are told that one has medicine in it and the other has poison in it. Now if you mistake one for the other, then you can conclude that you did not know. If you do not mistake the one for the other, then one can say that you do know. This would apply to anger as well. The reason you become angry is because you do not know. You are merely going around with ego when you say that you know. In darkness you are likely to bump into things, but when there is light and you can see clearly, you will not have any accidents. When we confuse the darkness with light, it is our own mistake. So come and sit in the Satsang with me and acquire the real knowledge. Then only will anger, pride, attachment and greed go away. RECOGNIZE THE KNOWER Questioner: We all know that anger is bad, but still... Dadashri : It is like this: The one, who is angry, is not aware of the anger. The one, who is greedy, is not aware of his greed and the one who is arrogant is not aware of his pride. The 'knower' is completely separate from all these weaknesses. All these people feel that although they are aware of their weakness, then why do the weaknesses still occur? Now, who is it that says 'I know'? They do not know

Page #12
Anger Anger Questioner : But everyone gets angry. Dadashri : Ask this gentleman. He is saying no. Questioner : There will be no anger after coming to satsang. Dadashri : What kind of medicine do you think he took? It is a medicine that removes the root cause of anger. a person is responsible. No one is able to hurt another person knowingly. Whether a boy throws a stone at you or whether a stone from a hilltop hits you, it is essentially the same thing. But it is an illusion that makes you perceive that someone is responsible for it. In this world no man has even the independent power over his bowel movements. ONLY THROUGH RIGHT UNDERSTANDING Questioner: I get angry with people that are close to me. The other person may be right according to his viewpoint, but from my viewpoint I become very angry. What is the reason for my anger? Dadashri : If you are walking along and a stone from a building falls on your head and hurts you, will you get angry? We do have control over anger. When we realize that no one has thrown the stone that falls from the hillside, we do not get angry. And when you say, "Anger overcomes me"; it really does not. If it did, then why do you not react in the same way in the other situation? Why don't you get angry when a policeman tells you off? And yet you get angry with your wife, with the children, with the neighbors, with those working under you. And why don't you get angry with your boss? Anger does not just happen to people. People get angry because they want to have their own way. Questioner : How can one control it? Questioner : No, because it just happened spontaneously. Dadashri : No, but why do you not get angry in this situation? It is because you do not see anybody there. Who will you get angry with? Dadashri : The control is there. Recognize that the person who throws the stone at you is merely your nimit (someone instrumental) who is bringing to you, the effects of your past karma. When you see a stone falling from a hill, your anger does not arise. In the same manner, here too you should exercise control, because everything is just like the hill. Questioner : But no one has thrown the stone. Dadashri : And if you were to go out now and a little boy throws a stone at you, you will get angry with him. Why? Because you believe that the boy threw the stone at you. But if a stone rolls down a hillside and hits you, you will look around but you will not get angry. You become angry because in your mind you feel that If a car is coming head on to you, will you get angry or will you move out of the way? Would you crash with the car? You are aware of the consequences. But when you get angry, the internal destruction is much greater. The external destruction is obvious to you, but you are not aware of the

Page #13
Anger Anger internal destruction. This is the only difference, RESULTS CHANGE WHEN CAUSES CHANGE will get angry with that person as many times as you were meant to. But what must you do from now on? You should not allow yourself to become prejudiced towards the person with whom you get angry. You should change your opinion of him. It is because of the account of your prarabdh (fate, past karma, destiny) that this person is behaving in this manner with you. Whatever that person does, it is because of the result of your own karma. This is how you should change your opinion about him. If you change your opinion about him, you will no longer get angry with him. The effect from the past will remain for some time. That effect will come, give its results and then it will stop altogether. Someone asked me why for countless lives man has tried to get rid of anger and has not succeeded. I told him that perhaps he did not have the right solution. He told me that the solutions given in the scriptures, which he himself was following, did not eradicate his anger. I told him that the solution has to be exact and correct. Trying to find a solution to stop the anger is foolishness because anger is a result. It is just like the results of an examination. The result cannot be changed. It is the cause which one needs to change. People try to suppress anger, but it is futile, and in doing so one may even become insane. Besides anger is not something that one can get rid of. A person said to me that he had been successful in suppressing his anger to some degree, but you cannot say that it is suppressed, while it still remains inside. He then asked me for a solution and I told him to make a note of those circumstances and people that made him angry and those that did not. He was to also make a note of when he did not get angry even though the other person did something wrong. There are circumstances when we get angry even though the other person does the right thing. What is the reason behind this? Questioner: Is it because a granthi (a knot of opinion) has formed in our mind for that person? Dadashri : Yes, a complex of opinions has been formed. What should one do to disentangle from that complex? The examination has already been given. You This is a very subtle point, which people have failed to discover. There is a solution for everything. The world can never be without solution. People are trying to destroy only the results. The solution against anger, pride, attachment and greed is that one should destroy their causes and leave the results alone. If one does not have the awareness in the first place, then how will he find the solution? Questioner : Please explain again how to destroy the causes. Dadashri : If I get angry with this gentleman, I decide that my anger towards him is the result of me seeing faults in him previously. Now whatever wrong he does, as long as I do not let it affect my mind, the anger towards him will subside. Some of it will still come as a result of the past, but no more will come in the future. Questioner: Does anger stem from looking at others' faults?

Page #14
16 Anger Anger Dadashri : Yes. Even while seeing their faults, you should be aware that it is wrong and it is a result. Once this process of seeing faults in others ceases, anger will cease. EGO IN THE ROOTS OF ANGER Some people ask how they can get rid of their anger. They tell me that they try to suppress it. I ask them whether they are trying to suppress it before or after they understand it. I tell them that they will have to understand anger first, because anger and peace coexist side by side. If one fails to understand anger and tries to suppress it, he may be suppressing peace instead, so peace will die. Therefore it is not something that one can suppress. One has to understand that anger is ego. Analyze the ego that causes the anger. If this child breaks something valuable and we get angry, what kind of ego is it? It is the kind of ego that tells us that we have incurred a loss from the breakage. Here the ego is of profit and loss. We have to think about how we will go about destroying this kind of ego. Otherwise by harboring the ego, the anger will continue. Anger and greed at their very core are really only ego. that are unavoidable. The head of the household will scold his servant for breaking things, but he would remain silent if his son-in-law were to do the same. He remains silent with the people he considers important and he yells at the servant whom he considers inferior. This is egoism. Do people not become silent in the presence of their superiors? If Dada were to break something, not even a single thought would cross their minds, but if the servant were to break something, then what? Even if people understood with their buddhi (intellect), it would suffice! If the buddhi had been developed and molded with understanding, then there would be no arguments. Will the scolding help restore the damage? It only gives one a little satisfaction. Moreover there is bickering and mental stress in it. In the above situation one has not only incurred a loss from the broken cups, but also a loss from inner restless has been created. Thirdly, a loss has occurred because of hostility created with the servant. The servant thinks that he is being ill treated because he is poor. He will harbor hostility and will bind revenge karma for next life. God has said that one should not bind vengeance with anyone. Where possible, bind love but do not bind hostility. If you bind love, then that love itself will destroy the hostility. Love overcomes hatred. Vengeance will breed vengeance and it will keep on increasing forever. Vengeance is the reason for the endless wanderings life after life. Why do these human beings wander endlessly? WITH WHAT UNDERSTANDING IS ONE TO PACIFY ANGER? Anger itself is the ego. One must examine why this is so. Once we look into it, we will be able to grasp it. If we get angry when something breaks, we have to question why the anger occurs. The answer would be that the breakage means a loss. It is because of the loss we feel angry. If one thinks deeply about the ego and the anger, the very process of thinking will wash away the ego. There are circumstances What obstacles arise? Where do the obstructions arise? We should destroy them. It is because of one's shortsightedness that one encounters obstructions. The Gnani Purush gives you the 'long-sight' that will enable you to see

18 Anger things exactly the way they are. WHEN ONE GETS ANGRY WITH CHILDREN... Questioner: What should I do when I become angry with my child? Dadashri Anger happens because of lack of understanding. If you ask your child how he feels when you get angry, he will tell you that it hurts him. He is hurt and you are too. Then is there a need to get angry with the child? If it benefited him, then you could continue with it, but if the consequences are bad, then what is the point of being angry? Questioner: If we didn't get angry then they wouldn't listen to us, and they wouldn't eat. Dadashri: So you would intimidate them just so that they would listen to you? JUST LOOK AT THE SUBTLETY OF THE ENLIGHTENED ONES People will think that a father is worthless because he displays so much anger towards his child. But what sort of justice would this be according to nature? According to nature's law, the father is binding punya. Why is it considered a punya in spite of his anger? It is because he is subjecting himself to turmoil for the benefit of his child. He binds punya because he takes on the strife for the happiness of his child. Generally, all forms of anger will bind paap except where one becomes angry and sacrifices one's own happiness for the happiness of one's child or one's disciple. Here punya is bound. People will look upon him with disgust Anger and disapproval. The justice of nature is different. There is no hinsak bhaav (intention to hurt) when you become angry with your son or your daughter, but there is hinsak bhaav everywhere else. His taanto (link of annoyance and anger) however, may linger and if so, whenever he sets eyes on his child, the conflicts will arise inside him. 19 Now if neither the intent to hurt nor the link of annoyance were present in the anger, one would attain liberation. If just the hinsak bhaav is missing, but the taanto is still there, then one would bind punya. Just look at the intricate details of discovery of The Lord. DESPITE ANGER ONE BINDS PUNYA God tells us that any anger that is done for the sake of others and for the benefit of a greater good, will bind punya. Now in the Kramic path (the traditional step by step path to Self-Realization), religious disciples live under the fear of being reprimanded by their guru. The guru's eyes become red with anger. Yet, because he becomes angry for the welfare of his disciple, the guru binds punya. Can you imagine how much suffering they have to endure? How is one ever going to be liberated? Liberation is not easy. Only on a rare occasion does one attain something like Akram Vignan. ANGER IS A KIND OF A SIGNAL People would say that the man that gets angry with his children is the offender and that he is the one that binds paap, but God does not say that. God would say that he is the offender if as a father he fails to get angry with his

20 Anger Anger THE WAY MUSLIMS DEAL WITH ANGER child. Is it good to get angry? No, but it was necessary at the time because if he did not, his son would have strayed in the wrong direction. Consequently, anger is a red signal, nothing else. If the father had not appeared intimidating and had not become angry, he would have lost his son to the path of vice. Questioner: We take out our anger on the wife when we cannot get angry with the secretary or the nurses at the hospital. She gets the worst part of it. The people have no idea that anger is a red flag. It is important for one to understand when and for how long this flag has to be utilized. FROM NEGATIVE TO POSITIVE MEDITATION If you become angry with your son, your bhaav intention) should be, 'this should not happen'. This means that you have changed negative meditation into positive meditation. Although you were angry, the result turns positive internally because you have changed your true inner intent. Questioner: Is it because of the bhaav: 'it should not be this way? Dadashri : There should be no intent to hurt behind it. It is impossible to have anger without the intent to hurt. Amongst all the different situations where anger occurs, it only binds punya when it is directed towards one's children, one's friends and one's wife if the intent to hurt is absent. The reason is clearly visible when one looks at his aim behind his anger. Dadashri : I tell people in satsang that when their superiors reprimand some men, they vent their anger on their wives instead. So then I rebuke them and ask them why they are taking it out on their poor wives. I ask them why they do not fight with the person that scolds them instead of fighting with their wives? A Muslim friend of mine invited me to his home, so one day I went with him. He only had two rooms in his house. I asked him how he managed to live in such a confined space. I asked him if his wife ever bothered him. He said that sometimes his wife would get angry but he would not. If they both were to get angry at each other, how would they be able to sleep in the same room? Furthermore, he would not get even a decent cup of tea in the morning. He told me that he was happy to be with his wife, so how could he get angry with her, and when she got angry with him, he would pacify her by sweet-talking to her. He said that he would fight outside the home, but never in the home. But our men on the other hand, would come home after receiving a mental thrashing outside and pass it on their wives. So even anger has been divided. It is a different anger when you get angry with your son when he is not paying attention to the business. God has said that when a father gets angry with his son for stealing money and other misdeeds, the father will bind punya. All day long they are angry. Even the cows and buffaloes are better, at least they do not get angry. Life should be peaceful! It should not be feeble. Anger takes place all too often.

22 Anger Did you come here by car? What would happen if the car got angry on the way here? Questioner: Then it would be impossible to come here. Dadashri : When you get angry with your wife, how do you think she copes? Dadashri : (To the wife) you don't get angry do you? Questioner: Sometimes it happens. Dadashri: What's the use of you both getting angry? Questioner: Should there not be some anger between a man and wife? Dadashri No. There is no such rule. There should be harmony between a husband and wife. If they hurt each other they are not husband and wife. There is never any heartache where there is true friendship. Marriage is considered the greatest of all friendships. Others have brainwashed you into thinking that this is the rule because it happens to them as well. There should not be any hurt between a husband and wife. It may happen in other relationships. PUNISHMENT FOR OBSTINACY Questioner: When we have conflicting opinions with our friends or with our family and when things do not go our way we get angry. Why do we become angry? What should we do about it? Dadashri : Why do you even think about having your Anger own way? What would happen if everyone did as they pleased? Instead you should think what would happen if everyone around you were stubborn and unyielding. You should never try to make things go your way. If you do not have any expectations, you will not go wrong. Anyone with expectations can be stubborn if he wants to. This is how you should look at it. 23 Questioner: No matter how hard we try to remain silent, what should we do when the men get angry? Dadashri If you want to start a quarrel, then you should also get angry. If not, then you should just remain silent. What use is anger to you? The person himself does not get angry. Anger is the effect of a "mechanical adjustment", which is why he later regrets it and wishes it never happened. Questioner: What should I do to calm him? Dadashri When a machine gets too hot, you must leave it alone for a while and in a short time it will cool down. But if you keep meddling with it, you will get burnt. Questioner My husband and I get into terrible arguments and we also say hurtful things to each other. What should I do? Dadashri : Is he the one who gets angry or is it you? Questioner: Sometimes I do. Dadashri Then you should scold yourself from within. Ask yourself why you are getting angry when you

Page #18
Anger Anger 25 know that you will suffer the consequences. Do pratikraman (the act of asking for forgiveness), and all your faults will come to an end. Otherwise you will have to suffer the same pain that you are inflicting. You will calm things down a little with pratikraman. a firm resolve to never let their weakness overcome them again. They should not defend their anger and they should do pratikraman for it. They should make a note of when, where and with whom they became angry during the day and they should do pratikraman for it. THIS IS CRUDE BEHAVIOR Questioner : When we get angry we start using abusive language. How can we improve ourselves? Dadashri : This happens because one does not have any control. In order to have some control one should first understand how he feels when someone gets angry with him. How does he tolerate such behavior when it is directed towards him? Treat others the way you would like to be treated. What should one do in pratikraman? If one's anger hurts another person, he must recall the Soul within that person and ask to be forgiven. He should ask forgiveness for his actions and vow never to do it again. Aalochana is confession of your mistake. When you confess your mistakes to me, you are doing aalochana. ASK FOR FORGIVENESS INTERNALLY If someone uses abusive language towards you and it does not bother you or depress you, it is a different matter. You should stop it altogether. One must never use abusive language. Swearing is crude behavior, unbecoming of any human being. PRATIKRAMAN: THE REAL PATH TO LIBERATION Questioner : Dada, sometimes when we do pratikraman and repent for a mistake for getting angry with someone, we feel anguish within. Yet, we do not have the courage to ask for forgiveness face to face, from the person. Dadashri : You need not ask for forgiveness in that way, otherwise the other person might misuse it. He may think that he has put you in your place. Just ask for forgiveness internally, by recalling the Soul within the person. There are only a handful of people who would forgive you before you even ask for their forgiveness. Such nobility is rare these days. At one time people were taught to have compassion, practice fairness and forgiveness, but nowadays how can they have these qualities when they keep getting angry? SINCERE PRATIKRAMAN YIELDS IMMEDIATE RESULTS I would tell these people that whenever they get angry, they should repent from within. They should know the weakness within them, which prompts their anger. They should accept their mistake and feel remorse. If they have a guru, they should seek help from him. They should make Questioner : Sometimes I become so angry that I will say something and then keep quiet, but I am in turmoil from within and this lingers on. Does this call for more than one pratikraman?

Page #19
Anger Anger Dadashri : If you do pratikraman two or three times wholeheartedly and with resolve never to repeat the mistake, then everything is over with. Pray to the Soul within that person and confess that you became very angry and hurt him and that you are now asking for forgiveness for your actions. and in the form of discharge (Dadashri's term for the dissipation of effects of previous causes. The term discharge applies only for those who have been graced with his separation from cause and effects of karma, in the Gnan Vidhi). A discharge fault means that it is non-living, which means that the consequences will be minimal. THE SENSE OF DOERSHIP SUSTAINS ANGER FAULTS END ULTIMATELY You are not the one making things happen. It is the kashayas, the weaknesses within you of anger, pride, attachment and greed that run everything. Only the rule of these kashayas prevails. When you acquire the knowledge of your real Self, these kashayas leave. When one gets angry, he feels remorse but of what use is it if he does not know how to do pratikraman? One is freed when he knows how to do pratikraman. Questioner: The excitement stirred up through atikraman (aggression involving anger, pride, attachment or greed) is calmed down with pratikraman. Dadashri : Yes it does indeed calm down. With 'sticky files' (Dadashri's term for those with whom you have great attachment or abhorrence due to past life karma) you have to do more than five thousand pratikramans or so before things are squared away. Although you may not vent your anger when you become frustrated, if you do not do pratikraman, the 'stain' will not be erased. With pratikraman, everything is cleared up. If you do atikraman then you must do pratikraman. Questioner : What if you get angry with someone and you immediately ask for forgiveness on the spot? Dadashri : After acquiring Gnan, when you get angry, there is no problem, as long as you ask for forgiveness, because doing pratikraman will set you free. If you cannot directly ask for forgiveness from that person, you should do it internally and this will also set you free. Questioner : You mean in front of everyone? How long can these kashayas last? The kashayas will remain as long as one believes; 'I am Chandulal'. This belief gives support to the sense that the kashayas are his, 'I am angry, I am unhappy etc. It is when one attains the awareness, 'I am pure Self' that the sense of 'I am Chandulal' is broken and the kashayas are destroyed. Without this awareness all efforts to remove kashayas, in fact perpetuate them. When anger is controlled through ego, the ego increases. When greed is overcome with the ego, the ego increases. WHERE THE ANGER IS CONTROLLED, THE PRIDE INCREASES Dadashri : It is fine if you cannot directly ask for forgiveness and you do it internally. These faults are lifeless A sadhu told me that he had completely eradicated his anger through his spiritual effort. The anger was in fact

Page #20
Anger Anger suppressed. I told him that he had instead created a monster by the name of pride (maan). This monster thrives because he is the offspring of ignorance of the Self (maaya). The sons of ignorance cannot be killed. One can get rid of them if one has a solution. This solution is Self-realization. ANGER AND DECEIT ARE FALSE PROTECTORS gunpowder ignites, it would start an explosion. When all the gunpowder is finished, the barrel would become inactive again. That is how it is with anger. The volatile atoms of anger will ignite according to the law of vyavasthit (Scientific circumstantial evidence), and will explode in every direction. It is not called anger (krodh) if no taanto (link of anger) remains. It is called anger only when there is taanto associated with it. It is called anger when there is a feeling of burning inside. When this happens, the burning continues and it affects others also. This burning if manifested outwardly is called kadhapo, and if one experiences internal burning and restlessness, it is called ajampo. The sulking occurs in both. TO ENDURE OR RETAIN A GRUDGE IS ANGER Anger and deceit give protection to pride and greed. The protector of greed is deceit and the protector of pride is anger. Sometimes deceit also plays a role in protecting pride. Sometimes anger also plays a role in protecting greed and, through anger they practice greed. A greedy person rarely gets angry, and when he does, we should understand that he is probably experiencing some difficulty related to his greed. Moreover, greedy people do not care what others say or think as long as they make money. They do not care even if they are insulted. They are like this because deceit will protect them. Deceit is their ignorance and is part of their nature. Thus, deceit and anger are protectors of internal weaknesses. If people do not use angry words, then it does not hurt anyone. It is not just the anger that is expressed outwardly that constitutes anger, but the smoldering one feels within is also anger. Tolerance is really twice the anger. Tolerance means to suppress continually. One will realize this when, like a coiled spring, suppressed anger rebounds one day. Why should one have to endure? One merely has to bring about a solution through Gnan. ANGER IS VIOLENCE One gets angry when one's pride is wounded. Anger is easily detected and therefore is easy to remove as compared to deceit, which deceives even the owner. Anger is the first of the kashayas to go. Anger is like ammunition and wherever there is ammunition, there is an army ready to fight. Once the ammunition is depleted, why would the army still fight? Everyone would simply run away. No one will stick around THE NATURE OF ANGER The intellect makes one emotional and Gnan keeps one calm. What would happen if a train running smoothly becomes emotional? Questioner : An accident would occur. Anger represents volatile atoms. If a barrel containing Dadashri : If it does not stay upright on the track, there will be an accident. Similarly, when a man becomes

Page #21
30 Anger Anger emotional, so many living organisms within him are killed. The moment anger arises, millions of lives are destroyed, but even then people maintain that they practice non-violence (ahinsa or ahimsa). People need to be aware that they are doing great violence when they become emotional and get angry. Questioner : He should get help from someone who is free to help Dadashri : Yes, you have to ask help from a person who is free. THE FOOD OF ANGER, PRIDE, ATTACHMENT AND GREED THE WAY TO CONQUER ANGER The external activities of the world: the thoughts, speech and acts of human beings do not change. However if one changes one's bhaav (deep inner intention) then it is enough. People say they want to stop their anger. One cannot stop it immediately. Firstly, one must recognize what anger is and the causes behind it. How is it born and who are its parents? All this has to be determined even before anger is understood. LIBERATION AT THE HANDS OF THE LIBERATED There are many people who have some awareness and insight into their anger. They say that they do not like the anger that develops within them. Many on the other hand believe that unless they get angry, they will not accomplish anything. Anger, attachment, pride and greed always harm the owner. People do not understand this. If you were to starve them for three years, they would run away. What is the nourishment for these weaknesses? How can you starve them if you do not know what they thrive on? It is your lack of understanding that provides sustenance for them. How do they survive and carry on life after life? Stop feeding them. People do not think along these lines and instead forcefully try to subdue them. These four weaknesses will not go away easily. An acharya (spiritual head) scolds his disciple with anger. If a person asks the acharya why he is scolding his disciple, and he replies that the disciple needed to be told off, then by making such a statement, he has fed his anger. This support for his anger is its food. Do you want to be rid of your weaknesses? Tell me what you want to get rid of. Make a list. Are you bound by anger, pride, attachment and greed? Questioner : Yes. Dadashri : How can a person who is bound free himself? How can someone whose arms and legs are tied up tightly become free? Questioner : He has to get help from someone. Dadashri : Should he seek the help of someone who himself is tied up? If anger, pride, attachment and greed are not fed for three years, they will leave. This is because each has its

Page #22
Anger Anger specific diet, which people provide everyday and so they grow healthy and strong. When a man smacks his child in anger, his wife will rebuke him for doing so. If he tells her that the child deserved it, then he would be feeding his anger. In making such statements, people support their weaknesses. I have never given protection to anger, pride, attachment and greed. If I happen to get angry and someone asks me why, I would tell him that it is wrong to get angry and that it occurred because of my weakness. In this way, I do not protect it. But other people do. way or another. So anger is sthool karma. When you get angry, if you have the internal bhaav that anger is necessary, then this bhaav will be your account of anger for your next life. If however, your bhaav today is that you should not get angry and you have made a decision that you do not want any part of anger, and even though it still occurs, you will not have bound anger for the next life. You will be punished for the anger, which occurs as sthool karma in this life, but even then it will not bind you in the next life. This is because in the subtle (sookshma) karma your resolve (nischaya) is not to get angry. On the other hand, if a person does not get angry with anyone, but has the belief that one should use anger to sort people out, then in his next life he will be a very angry man. Therefore, the external anger represents sthool karma and the internal bhaav is the sookshma karma. Sthool karma do not bind new karma. They represent an effect. That is why I have presented this science to you in a different light. Until now, people have been led to believe that karma are bound through sthool karma, and that is why they live in fear. If a sadhu (an ascetic) happens to be using snuff and we ask why a man of his status should have such an addiction, he will strengthen his addiction when he says that there is no harm in using snuff. Out of these four: anger, pride, attachment and greed, a person may favor one over the others and will therefore strengthen it by siding with it. OVERT KARMA: SUBTLE KARMA KASHAYAS FLEE WITH THE SCIENCE OF SEPARATION I will explain to you what overt (sthool) karma is. Do you ever become angry even though you do not want to be angry? Questioner : Is there any prerequisite qualification needed to conquer these four kashayas? Questioner : Yes. Dadashri : You experience the consequences of your anger right away. People will say that you are ill tempered. Someone may even slap you. Which means that you will suffer the consequences through being disgraced in some Dadashri : When these four kashayas of anger, pride, attachment and greed leave, one becomes a God. God said that when one gets angry with one's blood relatives, their minds become estranged. This estranged state

Page #23
34 Anger will prevail for years or throughout their lives. Such anger is wrong. Ultimately it is a useless anger. This type of anger binds one for infinite lives. Even greed, pride and attachment will do the same. They are very difficult. It is only after they leave that one attains bliss. One will be rid of these kashayas, if one listens to the Enlightened One. The Enlightened One is the Gnani Purush, who has the knowledge of the Soul and can give you this knowledge. The only other way out from these kashayas is to acquire the Science of Separation. Then all these kashayas will leave. This is the wonder of this time cycle. This is called Akram Vignan. - Jai Sat Chit Anand.
