HOW TO DEAL WITH ANGER
"Fareed, answer evil with goodness; do not fill your mind with anger."
Anger is closely related with ego. When one gets angry, ultimately that is our ego saying, 'I am right and you are wrong,' which means we are belittling another person (God). However, Gurbani tells us to see ourselves as the lowest of all humble beings. Every opportunity you get, say to yourself, 'I am the lowest of the lowest and Vaheguroo is my only saviour!' This becomes a habit, so next time we get angry, our mind is trained to see another as an equal.
Gurbani also tells us to see the divine within everyone. However, The only way to do this is to see the divine within oneself first. Once we recognise that God is within us and God is within others, and there is no other than God, then even a slight bit of anger shall not enter the mind. This state of mind is a very difficult one to adopt and only meditation on Vaheguroo’s name and constant contemplation of becoming meek and humble will support us to achieve it.
Vaheguroo!
