"We all know anger from experience, but when we are asked to pause and consider, What is this anger? It’s not always so easy to see what it is. Yet when we approach our feelings of anger with awareness, with mindfulness, it becomes a productive part of our practice. We find, after all, that anger has something to teach us." ~ Jules Shuzen Harris

When you get angry, you act as if you are possessed by an evil spirit... your face becomes uglly and frightful...
One need to realize this,
only by intense spiritual discipline,
that is not marred by anger, envy and greed...
the vices that sprout from the ego.
When you get angry,
you act as if you are
possessed by an evil spirit.
Your face becomes ugly and frightful.
Heed that signal,
and take yourself to a quiet spot.
Do not give free vent to wicked vocabulary.
Envy and greed also emanate
from the ego and have to be carefully
watched and controlled.
Like the tadpole's tail,
the ego will fall away
when one grows in wisdom.
Develop wisdom, discriminate
and know the ephemeral nature of all objective things.

If anyone talks ten words at us, if we reply at all, let us reply with one word...
If anyone talks ten words at us,
if we reply at all, let us reply with one word.
Do not quarrel, retaliate or
bandy words with anyone, giving tit for tat.

Anger is not a human quality...
Humanity can rise to Divinity through sense control.
When you get angry, remind yourself
that anger is not a human quality;
it is an animal quality.
Anger is the quality of a dog.
When you are angry, tell yourself,
"I am not a dog, I am a man."
Similarly when your mind wavers, tell yourself repeatedly,
"I am not a monkey, I am a man."
Truth, Righteousness, Peace, Love and Non-violence
are the true human values. Losing any one of these
values amounts to losing one's life principle itself.
