Transforming “Reaction” To “Response” In its original form, anger was not anger, not a negative reaction; rather it was the energy of a positive response to people and situations, but the response gradually changed to reaction. When we return to our spiritual identity, we begin to rediscover that capacity to be still, stable or centred, and we are they able to respond positively even to negative situations, or people. With spiritual consciousness, the energy of this negative reaction is transformed into being able to accept, understand and deal wisely and peacefully with whoever, or whatever, is encountered. In order to extinguish (overcome) anger, one has to use peace and silence, to understand that peace is the original state of one's being; to remember that 'I am a peaceful being' means to emerge the consciousness of non-violence. Silence, that is learning to put a brake on the mind and tongue, helps us to think before speaking and, as a result, saves us from many confrontations with others. |

If we go back to days of Shiva, we find anger was not conquered. Thus Shiva could not gulp the insult from his father in Law and fought him, ultimately killing him. Parshuram cut the tusk of Ganesh in anger simply because he was asked to wait by Ganesha before he could be allowed to meet Shiva. It seems most of us will score better in 'anger test'!!!!
