Anger monitoring - a spiritual approach .. ( as per gurbani)
I prayed sincerely to satguru to enlighten me. As per inspiration received, I perused the shabad of guru maharaj. More I contemplated over it, more helpful it proved. And lo later on, with satguru’s grace, I have been able to control anger. It had proved to be panacea for me. I want to share my perception.
The cause of anger is our attitude and perception of situation. We are irritated because we forget that
# Same God is in each and every heart
# Every person is acting as per wish of GOD only
# Nothing is mine and thine. Everything belongs to HIM only. We are
using/relishing the belongings as per HIS will only
# We are befooled by emotions, which always mislead us
# We are frustrated because we craved for materialistic wealth, pride,
honour etc. and whenever our expectation was not fulfilled, that caused irritation. We forget that if we get rid of these cravings and crave for waheguru’s blessings through naam simran, we will not be after maya but all worldly pleasures will be after us.
Now think
# When we are in pride, our mind always wander aimlessly. When we are humble, we recognize God everywhere. How can and how can we afford to be angry with our LORD? We should be humble, see HIM in all and enjoy the bliss gifted by satguru by providing us Guidance. HUMILITY is always rewarding.
# Nothing is yours. Everything is of God. Nothing and nobody is bad. Donot judge others. You donot have that right. If you treat others as bad persons, others will treat you same way. Vicious cycle will start. Why donot have positive attitude and have love towards others? It will again have multiplying factor and you will be loved, helped and co-operated by others.
# More emotions you have, deeper is trapping of rebirths. Why not to concentrate on naam simran and get rid of these vicious cycles?
Till the “mine and thine” is deeply engraved in your subconscious
mind, emotions will not leave you (root cause of anger). Why not
to seek divine help in the matter by rendering humble prayer (ardas)?
# Why not to understand that pride, power, materialistic
achievements, ego are not real victory. It is defeat. Real victory is
realization, blessings of God and not earthly victory. This is
obtained by grace of satguru, who guides us that God is cause of
causes and contemplation on HIS naam is the way out. Why to be
entangled in delusions created by maya and provoking you into
anger?
# Then what to do when anger appears? Seek divine help by prayers
(ardas). Treat the scene as part and parcel of HIS cosmic drama
(leela). Treat the person offending you as puppet in hands of God.
Seek waheguru’s guidance, work out what your duty and role
warrants. Take action honestly and leave everything in hands of
God. Do not be emotional. It weakens you.
I repeatedly, recite relevant shabad, the gift of my satguru. And I am strengthened every time.
The above is my perception only and not literal translation of shabad. I am a person of little wisdom and donot possess authority over the subject. I am still begging mercy from satguru. I beg apology from sadh sangat for my mistakes. If I require rectification, please help me out. I will be obliged. Kindly oblige me by sharing your esteemed opinions. Now original baani, from sri guru granth sahib jee maharaj for your ready reference
