Guest guest Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 This is to no one in particular since every one of us can experience anger. From Amma Awaken Children Volume IV "Anger is like an infected wound. When somebody touches it, you feel the pain. And if the touch is hard, pus and blood will come out, creating more pain. Yes, anger is a deep, infected wound. It is a disease and needs to be treated. It needs your compassion and loving attention. Therefore, when someone gets angry, remember that he is a sick person. Do not make him more sick; do not let more pus and blood flow out of his wound. Do not make him experience more pain by pressing and squeezing harder and harder. This means that we should not return anger. By getting angry with a person who is angry with us, we are not treating the wound, but making it bigger and deeper. What an angry person needs is condolence. Take pity on him and soothe his wound of anger. Children, Mother wants to remind you once again that this is an opportunity. Mother knows very well that it is quite natural to have conflicts and arguments when we are in a group. None of you are Self Realized;therefore disagreements among you can happen. But try to practice love and patience." I am also reminded of Mother's words: "Today's friend can become tomorrow's enemy. Today's enemy can become tomorrow's friend. So treat everyone with equanimity. Treat everyone the same." i hope this is somehow helpful to our group. in Amma, adriane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
