Premananda Ji Maharaj: If you get angry, stop and think: is your reaction making you stronger or weaker?

Premanand Ji Maharaj: Who doesn't know Premanand Maharaj? He answers every difficult question with ease. Similarly, in his satsang, a person asked a question related to his anger. That person said that there are moments in every person's life when anger erupts. Someone says something that hurts, or someone behaves in a way that hurts the mind. The most common reaction at such times is anger, but is it right to respond to anger with anger? Or is there any other way by which we can handle ourselves?

Maharaj's answer

According to Premanand Maharaj, anger is not an external force, it arises from within us. The other person says or does something, but in reality, our reaction depends on what we think at that moment. If we just think that "What is my duty at this time?" then we can avoid getting caught in that emotional storm.

Anger comes when we have our expectations from a situation, and those expectations are not fulfilled. We feel that the other person should understand us, respect us, behave the way we want, but when this does not happen, then irritation arises within, and this gradually takes the form of anger.

How to control?

Now the question is, how to stop this anger? First of all, it is important to understand that victory over anger can be achieved only when we stop ourselves for a moment. If in that one moment we think, “What solution will come out of giving this reaction?” then perhaps we can choose a better option.

Another way is to interrupt yourself at that time. Whenever you feel that anger is coming, remain silent for a while, take a deep breath, and try to see your thoughts; this small practice can have a big effect. With this, we start understanding ourselves better and are also able to see the other person in the right way.

We don't need to be right in every situation. Many times, the other person is also upset, there is a reason for that too, due to which his behavior seems inappropriate to us. if we try to understand his pain, then perhaps instead of getting angry, we would want to help him.

Anger makes one weak, while patience gives strength. The person who can handle himself is truly strong. This practice does not happen in a day, but if every time we get angry, we just stop for a moment, then slowly the change starts coming.
