Anger is fire
In reality every man wants to change. Whether the angry man wishes it or not, his family members would definitely wish that he change for they all suffer because of him. He suffers himself and inflicts suffering on others too. Fire burns itself and burns others. Keep anything on fire and it will start boiling. Fire burns and destroys everything leaving behind only ashes. In the workshops of meditation, fifty percent of the people who come are selfinspired. Others inspire the remaining fifty percent of the people. Those who have benefited inspire them and tell them to go change. Motivated by such inspirational advice, many people come and join the workshops and even undergo change. Some people do not want change.
Yogic modes can be changed
It should be understood through anekanta that all the yogic modes, that is modes created by contacts and relations, and the different states of opinions and external stimuli, can be changed. They are modes that are within our control. We can change them if we want to and not change them if we do not
