🌿 You Are Not Alone
Dear one, I see the restless fire flickering within you — the quick flare of anger, the sharp edge of impatience. These feelings can feel overwhelming, like waves crashing on a fragile shore. Yet, within you lies a calm ocean beneath the storm. The Bhagavad Gita offers a gentle hand to steady the mind, to tame the wildness inside. You are not alone in this struggle; it is a path many have walked and mastered with love and patience.
🕉️ Timeless Words
क्लेशोऽधिकतरस्तेषामव्यक्तासक्तचेतसाम्।
अव्यक्तासक्तानां तु वैराग्यं परमं मतम्॥
(Chapter 2, Verse 56)
English Translation:
"For those who are attached to the unmanifested, who are free from desires and have subdued the mind, detachment is considered the highest state."
Meaning:
When the mind is restless and caught up in fleeting emotions like anger and impatience, it clings to the visible, the temporary. But when we learn to detach from these turbulent waves and steady our gaze on the unchanging, inner self, true peace emerges. This detachment is not coldness but a serene mastery over the mind’s impulses.
🪬 Guiding Lights
- Recognize the root — Anger and impatience arise from attachment to outcomes and resistance to what is.
- Practice detachment — See emotions as passing clouds, not permanent identities.
- Steady the breath — Mind control begins with calming the body’s rhythms.
- Cultivate awareness — Notice anger’s first stirrings before it grows.
- Focus on the eternal self — Your true nature is calm and unshaken by external turmoil.
🌊 Inner Dialogues
It’s okay to feel frustrated, to want things to move faster or to be different. Your mind is trying to protect you, to push for change. But sometimes this impatience only adds to your suffering. You might be telling yourself, "Why can’t I be more patient? Why does anger control me?" Remember, these feelings don’t define you — they are clouds passing over the clear sky of your consciousness. You are learning, step by step.
📿 What He Would Say...
“My dear friend, anger is like a wildfire that consumes the forest of your peace. But you are the gardener of your inner world. Tend your mind gently, water it with patience, and soon the flames will calm. When you see your thoughts as guests passing through your home, you will no longer be driven by their urgency. Rest in the awareness that you are beyond these waves. I am always here, steady and calm within you.”

But when you pause, take a deep breath, and focus calmly on one question at a time, your mind works clearer. Anger and impatience are like trying to sprint through a maze — they only lead to confusion. Patience is the steady pace that leads you to the exit.
