Origin of Anger is Desire and it is the one of the grossest mental afflictions. When it arises, it disturbs our inner poise. It causes a rush of blood to the head. We often regret what we say or do when we are in a rage.Later, we wish that we had not become angry, and we wonder how we succumbed to it. The backlash of anger can remain inside us for much longer than the provocation that caused it.Consequences of Anger: it makes us forget;<ul><li>Good manners</li><li>Civility</li><li>Kindness</li></ul>In its grip, humans forget basic respect, empathy, and compassion.

Anger: The Desease Of Mind

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.

How To Overcome Anger

Understand yourself and those around you.

We try to find it in our family, work, hobbies, activities, in everything else we do. Yet it eludes us. Even after so many disappointments, we seek happiness.The Vedas state: ānando brahmeti vyajānāt. ‘Know God to be of the nature of Bliss'The Supreme Lord is an infinite ocean of divine bliss, and we souls are His fragmental partsA lump of mud is a part of the earth and is pulled towards it by the force of gravityA river is created by water vapour arising from sea, it flows back into the seaWe souls are little drops of the ocean of infinite happiness so our natural propensity is to seek bliss.

Why do we seek Happiness?

Srimad-Bhagavatam, an epic philosophical and literary classic, holds a prominent position in Indiaʹs voluminous written wisdom. The timeless wisdom of India is expressed in the vedas, ancient sanskrit texts that touch upon all fields of human knowledge. Originally preserved through oral tradition, the vedas were first put into writing by Vyasadeva, "the literary incarnation of God." After compiling the Vedas, Vyasadeva was inspired by his spiritual master to present their profound essence in the form of Srimad-Bhagavatam. -- Jacket.
