Anger

He is indeed a wise and excellent person who has conquered his own anger and shows forgiveness even when insulted, oppressed, and provoked by a powerful person.

If there were no people who are as forgiving as the earth, there would be no peace among humans, only constant conflict caused by anger.

However, anger has been given to humans for the destruction of the world.

A person of strong character should always keep their anger at a distance.

The Blessed Lord said: It is desire — it is anger — arising from the quality of rajas: all-devouring and deeply sinful. Know this to be the enemy here.

From anger comes confusion; from confusion, failure of memory; from the loss of memory, destruction of discernment; and when discernment is destroyed, one utterly perishes.

When a person broods upon sense-objects, attachment to them is born; from attachment arises desire; from desire, anger is kindled.

Threefold is the gate of this hell that destroys the soul — desire, anger, and greed. Therefore one should abandon these three.

One who can withstand, right here in this life before the body falls away, the impulse born of desire and anger — that person is disciplined, that person is happy.

Be merciful and don't let your anger destroy all living things. Through your mercy, let the entire universe, including the past, present, and future, continue to exist.

By overcoming sleep, fatigue, anger, joy, hunger, thirst, cold, and heat, your children always experience the happiness that is fitting for heroes.

The Lord said, "It is desire and wrath, born from passion, that is our enemy here, a monster of greed and sin."

Anger is a sign of mental weakness, always starting from foolishness or weakness and ending in regret or remorse.

Taking refuge in ego, force, arrogance, desire, and anger — malicious and envious, they despise Me dwelling in their own bodies and in others.

An ignorant person treads on the thorns of five notorious instincts — lust, anger, greed, passion and ego — and feels the pain but still continues to walk on the same. Saintly people too walk on these thorns, but they cover their feet with the shoes of spiritual enlightenment, and so the thorns do not prick them.

Those who are devoted to Rama's feet and are free from lust, vanity, and anger see the entire world as filled with their Lord; against whom can they harbor animosity?

They are the source of kindness and other virtues. They feel sad when they see others in distress and are happy when they see others happy. They are calm, and they don't consider anyone as their enemy. They are free from pride and passion, and they have control over greed, anger, joy, and fear. They are gentle and compassionate towards those in distress, and they have pure devotion to me in their thoughts, words, and actions. They show respect to everyone and are humble themselves. I love such people as I love my own life. They have no personal interests, but they are dedicated to my name and are full of peace, calmness, humility, and good humor.

Lust, anger, vanity, and covetousness are all paths leading to hell. Abjuring these, adore the Hero of Raghu's line, whom saints worship.

One who remains unaffected by the allure of women, stays vigilant even in the darkest night of anger, and is not entangled in greed, is equal to you, O Lord of Raghus.

I tell you, dear sage, the qualities of saints that make them master over me. They have mastered the six passions (lust, anger, greed, infatuation, pride, and jealousy), are sinless, disinterested, firm, detached, pure (inside and out), full of bliss, wise, desireless, moderate in their diet, truthful, inspired, knowledgeable, and united with God. They are cautious, honor others, free from pride, strong-willed, and well-versed in the path of righteousness.
