We can use anger in a positive way. We have seen three points. First, anger can be very destructive.
It can make us mad for some time and make us say such things that we hurt others but we can also hurt ourselves. So, where does this anger come from? It is our kama-anuja. The more attachment we have, the more anger we get.
So, if we want to control our anger, what do we have to do? We have to turn our attachment towards God. We don’t have to fight with anger. We don’t have to fight with anger.
We have to change our attachment. The more we do bhakti and attach our attachment to God, to that extent God’s service comes into our lives. And then we work For example, if a person is talking to a customer, even though the customer is not talking to him, the person who is serving does not look at the customer, he looks at his boss.
The other person is not doing any work. If we have the power of serving God, we can do the right thing. And what will be the right thing? That will be a different question.
Duryodhana insulted Vidur. Vidur saw that this is another opportunity to serve God. Then he saw how Arjuna gradually turned the anger that came due to Abhimanyu into a positive form through the Mahadarshis of God.
If anger is not controlled, it is like a machine gun. It can harm everyone. It can harm us too.
But when it is controlled through power, when it is controlled, it becomes like a laser gun. Equally, the problem is solved by power. Our emotional and mental power can be destroyed by anger.
But if we use anger in service, then we can serve God a lot. For example, Arjuna achieved the biggest victory. Similarly, if we use our anger in service, then we can serve God a lot.
Then we saw how Lord Shiva was angry but still calm in the next moment. Why? Because the consciousness of a devotee is like an ocean, a vast ocean. There is a wave of anger coming from above, but below, with the devotion of God and the service of God, there is peace and tranquility.
If we keep on doing bhakti like this, then our consciousness will become like a vast ocean bigger than the water in a small well. And in that consciousness, in that bhakti of God, there is ultimate peace and tranquility. Thank you very much.
