Anger as expounded by Dada Bhagwan. Anger management helps us when we don’t know how to manage our anger! We become angry because we lack conflict resolution skills. In the book “Anger”, Gnani Purush Dada Bhagwan offers the ultimate anger management techniques in the form of spiritual conflict resolution strategies. He gives numerous solutions for dealing both with our own anger and the anger of others. The book was published in 2001 by the Dada Bhagwan Foundation as a question and answer style discussion. This is a PDF scan of the 13th edition from September 2021, posted here with permission from the publisher Mr. Ajit C. Patel. From the book:
Say two bottles are placed here and someone has explained that one has medicine in it and the other has poison in it. Both bottles look identical, but if one ends up making a mistake, then we can understand that this person does not know at all, isn’t it? If he does not make a mistake, then we can say that he knows. However, as a mistake has occurred, it is decided that he did not know. Similarly, when anger arises, you actually do not know anything at all; you are needlessly roaming around with the ego of knowing. Would you stumble in the presence of light? Therefore, for as long as you stumble, you have not Known anything at all. You are actually referring to darkness itself as light, and that is indeed your own mistake. Therefore, sit in this Satsang (spiritual discourse) and Know it once; then anger-pride-deceit-greed, everything will dissolve.
