Pranam. A thought by H.H. The Dalai Lama............

 

Anger or hatred is like a fisherman's hook. It is very important for us to

ensure that we are not

caught by it.

After going through Dalai Lama's words, I mused for a while and

considered the occasions in my Brahmacharya and gaarhastya periods

when I got angry and I have tried to catalog the causes of anger I

became slave to for a time.

1) In the village school, one teacher always knuckled boys for giving

wrong answers.One day, I supplied castor oil to all the classmates

before the teacher arrived and they all applied oil thickly and

liberally on their head.that day when the teacher knuckled a boy his

hand got stuck in the boy's head.He gave up his knuckling.I was eight

then.

 

2)When I was fourteen, I did not only to vaishnavism into

which I was born, but I not only d to Adi Shankara's

philosophy but I also believed in Christianity, Islam, Buddhism and

Jainism.So one day, my grandfather complained to one of his friends

that I was an atheist.I stopped talking to my grandfather in anger .I

talked to him after he told me that he realized that I believed in

all religions.

 

There were many times when people said I was egoist, arrogant and

haughty.I used to avoid these people till one day I realized that I

aired my views freely and did not consider whether it would hurt

others.

after this i am not haughty, i think and i am not angry, i think

sarvam brahma mayam
