R8. Anger Management through Anger Fasts: Part 2

Anger : Rasas Book Lecture Extract 8 of 22 : When living without anger for some time, as an excercise in anger management, we must learn how to forgive by understanding that people that do wrong things do so out of delusion, because they believe they have to. Then it is easy not to feel anger. Part of a Yoga class on Rasa Sadhana and anger sadhana, the Tantric practice of emotional fasting.

"Humans are not intentionally evil"?! I don't believe that.

[peterpandoer]

They may do evil things intentionally, but they are not ever evil. You might as well call a stone evil.

hi great videos ,u seem to reply to ppl about the problems they have so i'll try to im 21 and and i have a anger problem...everytime i meet whit my mom(a couple time a year)we always argue and i just want to let it go..but i cant i know it is not much info but if u reply i'll go into detalies

[peterpandoer]

Old fights are more difficult to stop than new fights. So first excercize anger sadhana with all other people you meet, so that your neural patterns and biochemical patters move away from anger. Then it will become less difficult to handle your mother. Also, dont expect her not to pick a fight with you - she has the same pattern problem. Rather, except her to do it and be ready to stay nice, ignoring whatever aggressive thing she does. That might turn her around also.

when i come to think about it,the actual source of the problem was when i stuck up for friends against other people, but when i was the one suffering all my friends forgot about it and betrayed me, this was why i was feeling depressed, but now ive learnt not to expect anything from anybody thanks to your videos, but do you think next time i should stick up for my friends or let them deal with their own problems because i find it hard not to help other people who need it.

[peterpandoer]

If you help them without expecting them to help you, then you are really doing something of value. All else is to be avoided.

i work at night and i get people who come in very angry. they ofter start cursing at me because im in the restroom or i cant cash a check for them. i just want to know how can i control my angry towards their stupidity? because its hard to ignore them by myself in that place, and i keep getting angry about it. i can loose my job.

[spulkagent47]

No no no no no no no! It is not easier to forgive if the person hurts you because they are deluded. That simply makes me think that person should be destroyed because they are unable to function properly in society.

[Manicpanicanticant]

Each flame brings another flame

wish ther was just an off switch for it

in a book of deeds everyone'll have something evil under their name

after i hate seeing the drooling spit

even when i don't feel it, it is burning

it's so hard to remove, it's so deep inside

it's like a fifty pound weight on a one inch string

each time i let it out a heavenly flame has died.

[mesa134]

Its all just labels dont get attach to them..Please defend yourself if someone tries to harm you im not saying dont do anything about it when you see someone you believe is doing something wrong..If i was green peace i would stop this whale hunters if i was the hunters i would defend my rights ..

[mesa134]

Humans will act out on their ideas and believes we label them as evil or good when in fact their just delusional their not good or evil inherently.Infact someone evil could be labelled as someone righteous to another person for example green peace things whale hunters are evil while their family thinks they're good cause they need income and without it there will be no food for the family..
