You would be habitual to mention good profit and expenditure in your accounting book. I request that auspicious deeds and behaviour should also be noted down in the same way. Think auspicious, Speak auspicious, Look auspicious, Listen to auspicious and do auspicious, - these five things should be assimilated in the life like an elixir of five types.
I have seen harmful effects of anger and fruitful results of affection. Therefore, I tell you not to get angry. To love all is the best art of living our life. Love itself is a nonviolence and non-violence means infinite love. Don't think what matters if a little anger occurs. You would not be able to know when these little things will turn into the largest one. Never take a loan from anyone. It can increase any time. Never let a wound arise, else the wound can increase anytime. Never let a fire get caught because it can become fierce anytime so never get angry. Otherwise it can also advance ahead. If you are compel to show anger, show it in little quantity. You may get angry only when you have no other option because it is the greatest weapon. Use it only when your all weapons fail.
There are three kinds of anger. The first, like a bubble arising in water that finishes immediately. As a line drawn in water remains in existence for little, likewise the anger of some people exists for little. The second kind of anger is like cracks in soil that exists until it gets sweet or loving treatment. The anger of such people cools down with a showering of loving behaviour. And the third kind of anger is like a crack in stones, inspite of many efforts, stones do not get joined together easily. The anger of such people doesn't lessen easily. And some people are so obstinate that they remain angry for many births.
