The Metamorphosis of ANGER

Posted on by Tavamithram Sarvada

The Harmful Effects of Anger: Understanding Its Life Cycle and the Path to Peace

Mark Twain once said, “Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured.” Anger never solves any problem or worry; rather, it makes us more stressed. It starts controlling our emotions and intelligence, and eventually leads us to self destruction.

To comprehend the full extent of anger’s impact, it’s essential to understand its life cycle. Anger often begins with attachment, a sense of entitlement, or envy. This metamorphosis is eloquently described in the Srimad Bhagavad Gita, Shlokas SBG 2:62-63:

Srimad Bhagavad Gita: 2:62-63 “A person who thinks of sense objects develops an attachment for them. From this attachment, desires are born and from desires, anger is born.
Anger gives birth to delusion and this delusion results in confusion of memory. When memory is confused, intelligence is destroyed, and from the destruction of intelligence, the person perishes.”

SBG 2:62-63

The Metamorphosis of Anger

  1. Attachment: It all begins with the mind dwelling on sense objects. When we repeatedly think about something, we develop an attachment to it.

  2. Desire: From attachment arises desire—the longing to possess or achieve what we are attached to.

  3. Anger: When our desires are unfulfilled or obstructed, anger arises. This anger can be towards oneself, others, or circumstances.

  4. Delusion: Anger clouds our judgment, leading to delusion. We start seeing things in a distorted manner, unable to perceive reality accurately.

  5. Confusion of Memory: Delusion confuses our memory. We forget our principles, values, and past experiences that guide us in making rational decisions.

  6. Destruction of Intelligence: With a confused memory, our intelligence, the ability to reason and discriminate, is destroyed.

  7. Perdition: The final stage is the total destruction of the person. A life led by anger is a life of turmoil, leading to self-destruction.

The Solution: Vedanta

Vedanta offers a profound solution to the problem of anger and other mental afflictions. The Srimad Bhagavad Gita, a cornerstone of Vedanta, provides timeless wisdom to overcome anger and attain peace. By understanding and applying its teachings, we can transform our lives.

The Srimad Bhagavad Gita is the panacea for all mental problems, fears, worries, and confusions that stem from a lack of clarity or emotional thinking. It guides us to live a life of balance, understanding, and inner peace.

Simple Truth for Mental Peace

Beat Stress and Fear Instantly with This One Secret!

We all experience mental stress, and in 99.99% of cases, it arises from one primary reason: not being able to come to terms with a situation. This was a profound lesson I learned early in life, thanks to my father’s timeless advice. Whenever I found myself in danger or facing a serious predicament, his words would echo in my mind, guiding me through the turmoil.

My father’s advice was simple yet powerful: “In times of trouble, stay calm and ask yourself what to do next.” This approach encourages acceptance of the situation, even if temporarily, and prompts you to ask, “What next?” This small but significant shift in mindset allows your intelligence to take over, pushing aside emotional responses and enabling you to find practical solutions.

Life can often feel overwhelmingly complicated, much like making intricate ‘jalebis’. However, the true sources of our stress are usually straightforward: ego, sense of entitlement, and self-pity. My father taught me to recognise these barriers and to let them go. By doing so, you clear the path to a more serene and manageable life.

Embracing this mindset has been a cornerstone of my highly eventful life. It’s a strategy that has repeatedly proven its worth, offering a 100% guarantee for a life filled with peace, love, joy, and humour. These golden words, rooted in my father’s wisdom, can help anyone achieve a blissful existence.

So, next time you find yourself in a stressful situation, remember to stay calm, accept the moment, and simply ask, “What next?” You’ll be amazed at how quickly clarity and solutions emerge.

Meditation: A Pathway to Intelligent Thinking, Emotional Balance and Mental Power

Posted on by Tavamithram Sarvada

Meditation is a powerful practice that holds immense importance in our fast-paced and often chaotic lives. It provides a sanctuary for the mind, allowing us to step away from the constant stream of thoughts and emotions that can overwhelm us. By dedicating time to meditation, we cultivate a sense of inner peace and clarity. A calm mind becomes more receptive to intelligent and rational thinking. It enables us to make better decisions, respond to challenges with composure, and approach life with a deeper understanding.

One of the initial steps towards achieving a peaceful mind is learning to disconnect from our emotions. Emotions can cloud our judgment and lead to impulsive reactions. Through meditation, we learn to observe our thoughts and feelings without getting entangled in them. By creating this mental distance, we become better equipped to navigate life’s complexities with a level-headed approach.

Mantras are invaluable tools in the journey of calming the mind. These ancient, sacred sounds or words have a profound impact on our consciousness. Repetition of mantras during meditation can help quieten the mental chatter and instil a sense of tranquillity. The vibration and rhythm of mantras empower the mind, making it more resilient and focused. As we delve deeper into meditation with mantras, we unlock the potential to access higher states of awareness and find our true selves amidst the noise of the world.

Take the help of meditation and Mantras to calm your mind and invoke Divine Power and Energy into you to start your journey to Inner Peace, Bliss, and Self-Realisation.
