Anger
enters when real Contentment goes away...
SituationWhen we don't get what we want or others won't do what we expect them to do, we become disappointed and we are afraid that…
When contentment is not present
we've developed some acquired behaviours
for achieving it… one of these is anger.
It is not however the natural state of
a soul because no one really wants to be angry
and this is why afterwards we regret
it but ,we just unconsciously let ourselves go down the easy way; the easy
way of external projection of everything that is missing
inside… thus we miss happiness…
So, trying to do away with anger
without actually knowing the real reason for it doesn't work.
}Have you ever heard anyone saying:
"Well I'm going on holiday for 2 weeks… I'm really looking forward to
quarrelling with everyone…(?) "

The moment we feel the attraction
of anger for someone or something, it is the right
moment (?) for our spiritual evolution ,
the gateway to a new and beautiful part of our self is being unlocked
!
It's the time to draw
new curves into my character...
..let me check the real reason for my anger…the truth always
lies deeper than the superficial triggers…
true reasons are always less obvious than the many forms of the external
triggering situations or people... thus I get deceived.
...yes , it’s
true they were late again but why do I hold on to my expectations… yes
,it is yet another occasion where they haven’t shown respect for my time
but why do I keep demanding that other people understand what "time
management is"… yes, again I'm angry with myself but maybe I'm too
demanding by expecting to control my anger from the very first anger
"management" workshop…!
}I don't need to investigate every single
thing in my past, nor dig deeply into my childhood… it's not necessary to
analyze my subconscious… there's something else I need to do that
is more difficult than all of this (?) … Let me take
a look around me now… let me see
my life at this present time:
with whom do I get upset ? What don't I have any patience left for?
Whatever I need to know is here, now…the present moment has all the nutrition
for my spiritual evolution and it will follow me for ever till I choose to
change… to go deeper, in the expectations that I nourish out of habit…
Let me look in and around myself…
everything I need is here, now…I don't need to close my eyes or move away from
where I am, I can gently detach my mind from my environment… let me talk to my
self…...
"what is
it that is hard for you to understand and you're getting upset? I don't need to
know about every single thing around me neither do I have to dig into the
character or behaviour of others... let me not wait for the other person to
apologize or the situation to change in order for me to be
peaceful…let me understand and experience myself and my uniqueness in the
now…let me see how what I think and feel now becomes my future … let me see
this moment as an opportunity to change my attitude internally…as a chance to
dive into my 'om shanti'…I'm a peaceful soul… peace is my natural state of
being…I choose to emerge my true peace so I can taste it…"
