When you find anger rising within you,
- you may withdraw from the place to provide time for cooling your emotions. Or
- you may drink a glass of cold water and sit quietly in a place. Or,
- take a brisk walk for a mile to get over your anger. Or,
- stand before a mirror and look at your face.
By any one of these methods, your anger will gradually come down.
- Do not, however,
- stay near the person who has provoked your anger,
- because there is no limit to what anger may lead you to.
- Owing to anger and agitation,
- the blood gets heated up.
- It takes three months for the blood to cool down. Within that period,
- the nerves become weaker and even the
- blood cells get destroyed.
- Weakness is aggravated and the
- memory power is reduced.
- Old age sets in prematurely.
- All the aberrations that we witness today among men arise from anger.
- -Puttaparti Satya Sai Baba in the Divine Discourse, Apr 22, 1985.
