Anger
Question
Hello Dhananjay Sir,
I am trying hard to follow path to salvation from few months.
I have had falls but it seems like i dont want to give up now
however hard and how many times i fail.
I always used to be a calm person [atleast on outside].
Since starting of practice, Most of the time there is still poise ...
but sometimes there is a burst of emotion especially anger which
seems uncontrollable for the moment. Also these mood swings are without any reason.
Where am i missing out?
I had one more question, should we sleep without blanket because
i have noticed that im more prone to bad dreams with blanket, maybe it has something to do with heat.
PS: Sorry for the use so much 'I' :)
Answer
1. Brahmacharya increases the overall energy. When the Brahmachari succumbs to lower traits such as anger (which is nothing but energy in the negative form), the intensity is higher as more energy is within store. Anger however dissipates all the saved and built up energy which is to be used for self-realization. Hence one should overcome anger through the practice of Yoga & Gnyana (knowledge of the absolute truth).
2. There is no harm in using a blanket under cold conditions.
ॐ तत् सत्
(That Supreme being is the absolute truth)
