Baba’s sayings about Anger

Para Number in the Book ‘BCS”, About anger

  1. Baba (to Ramadasi)- “You are reading pothi. Adhyatma Ramayana, unceasingly. Yet your heart is not pure. You repeat Sahasranama and yet your troubles are not gone. You call yourself a Ramadasi. If you are one, you must be indifferent to all objects. You ought not to have Mamata, attachment, but must have Samata, viewing everything with equal eye. You behave like a boy and fight for your book. Books can be had by the ton for money but not men, i.e. friendship.”
  2. Baba: If any one is angry with another, he wounds me to the quick. If any one abuses another, I feel the pain. If anyone bravely endures the abuse, I feel highly pleased. (cf. 289.)

209. Baba to Jog- “Give me dakshina. “

Jog (flaring up): You know I have not got a single pie. How can I give, Baba’?

Baba- “Do not give, but why do you lose your temper?”

210: Baba to R B Purandhare- “If anybody comes and abuses you or punishes you, do not quarrel with him. If you cannot endure it, speak a simple word or two, or else leave the place. But, do not battle with him and give tit for tat. I feel sick and disgusted when you quarrel with others”

211 Baba to Mrs. MW Pradhan- “If anyone talks ten words at us, let us answer with one word, if we reply at all. Do not battle with anyone”.

Baba’s Control of Anger

  1. When Baba was in a towering rage, Uddhavesa Bua came, prostrated and asked for leave; Baba, cooling down, spoke tenderly to him.-“Are you going? When will you come? You need not come again and again every fifteen days. I am with you. Well, go.”
  2. When Baba was in towering passion, Samant, Police Sub-Inspector stood at a distance and thought that unless Baba gave him leave immediately, he would, be too late for his train and have to meet official trouble.

Baba, at once- “Tell all those who want to go, to come at once and take their Udhi.”

  1. When pleader Joshi of Thana and another sent by Kata Dopeshwar arrived at the Shirdi mosque, Baba was in towering rage. Baba saw them. Baba- “Bring those people here.”

And when they came, he was perfectly cool and asked, “You have killed that old man and come here” (meaning that Kaka Dopeshwar died after telling them to go to Baba). (s.c. 411.)

Baba’s Anger
  1. Baba- “I get angry with none. Will a mother harm her little ones? Will the ocean send back the water of the streams? I love devotion. I am the bond slave of my devotee, (s.c.15).
  2. Baba- “Nana, I am not angry with you. You, my children, have a right to be angry with me. If Venkusa were here, I could be angry with him. (s.c.179).
  3. Baba to Mrs. Pradhan (who feared that Baba would get angry:) “See, I did not get angry with anyone to-day.”

218. Baba, when in a towering rage “Let blessings be to all”

218.A(226)  HATERED. Baba to Das Ganu (who complained that he had not been invited to a feast where Sira (Semolina pudding) was distributed, on account of the host being his enemy)- “Who gives, what to whom? What is this Sira? Who eats it? Do not say anyone that he is your enemy. Who is whose enemy? Do not entertain any ill-feelings towards any one. All are one and the same.”
