How To Overcome Anger

Though Anger does not come by itself. It is caused when we harbour a desire and its fulfilment is obstructed.

The Sanskrit saying: krodhāt krodhe kathannute. ‘Do not allow anger to overcome you, rather, become angry upon anger itself.’

The cause of desire is determined—it is attachment. If we harbour attachment, it will lead to desire; from desire will arise anger and greed.

Conversely, if we eliminate attachment, and/or replace the lower Attachments with higher one (desire for Supreme Lord) there will be no scope for desire, and all subsequent afflictions will automatically cease.
