🌿 You Are Not Alone
Dear friend, I sense the storm you carry inside — anger and hate can feel like wild fires, consuming peace and clarity.

🕉️ Timeless Words
क्रोधाद्भवति संमोहः संमोहात्स्मृतिविभ्रमः।
स्मृतिभ्रंशाद् बुद्धिनाशो बुद्धिनाशात्प्रणश्यति॥
(Chapter 2, Verse 63)
English Translation:
From anger arises delusion; from delusion, confusion of memory; from confusion of memory, loss of reason; and from loss of reason, one perishes.
Explanation:
This verse reveals how anger is the root of a downward spiral — it clouds the mind, distorts memory and judgment, ultimately leading to ruin. The karmic effect is not just in the outward action but in the inner unraveling it causes.
🪬 Guiding Lights
- Anger binds the soul by creating negative impressions (samskaras) that shape future suffering.
- Hate fuels cycles of retaliation, deepening karmic debts and prolonging pain.
- True karma is not just what we do, but how our emotions shape our intentions and choices.
- Cultivating patience and forgiveness weakens the grip of anger’s karmic chain.
- Awareness of anger’s consequences is the first step toward breaking free from its cycle.
🌊 Inner Dialogues
You might feel trapped, thinking, “This anger is justified; I cannot let it go.” Or perhaps, “I hate how this makes me feel, but I don’t know how to stop.” These feelings are deeply human. Your heart is caught between the desire for justice and the wish for peace. It’s okay to acknowledge this tension — it’s the beginning of healing.
📿 What He Would Say...
“My dear soul, anger is a fire that burns both the wood and the hand that holds it. Know that harboring hate only darkens your own light. Instead, turn inward with courage. See the fleeting nature of these emotions, and choose the path of calm wisdom. Your true self is untouched by anger — it is the eternal witness, serene and free.”
🌱 A Familiar Story
Imagine a student who, after failing an exam, lashes out at classmates and teachers. The anger feels like justice, but it only isolates them and clouds their ability to learn. Over time, they realize that holding onto resentment steals their energy and focus. When they choose to breathe, reflect, and forgive themselves, their mind clears, and new opportunities open. Just like this student, your anger can be a teacher — showing you where to grow.
