Tale to Understand the Harmful Effects of Anger and How to overcome it!

THE HANDWRITING ON THE WALL

A weary mother returned from the store, lugginggroceries through the kitchen door.Awaiting her arrival was her eight-year-old son,eagerto relate what his younger brother had done. As soon as he saw his mother he complained to her-"While I was out playing and Dad was on a call, T.J.took his crayons and wrote on the wall! It's on thenew paper you just hung in the den mummy. I told him you'd be mad at having to do it again."

She let out a moan and furrowed her brow. "Where isyour little brother right now?" - she screamed.She emptied her arms and with a purposeful stride, she
marched to his closet where he had gone to hide.She called his full name as she entered his room. Hetrembled with fear -- he knew that meant doom!For the next ten minutes, she ranted and raved about the expensive wallpaper and how she had saved and howeverything was now spoilt!

Lamenting all the work it would take to repair, shecondemned his actions and total lack of care. The moreshe scolded, the madder she got, then stomped from hisroom, totally distraught!She headed for the den to confirm her fears. When shesaw the wall, her eyes flooded with tears.

The message she read pierced her soul with a dart.It said, "I love Mommy," surrounded by a heart!!

Well, the wallpaper remained, just as she found it,With an empty picture frame hung to surround it.A reminder to her, and indeed to all- To take time toread the handwriting on the wall!

SPIRITUAL COMMENTARY

Alas....what a futile emotion it was for the mother ofthe little child to have shown all her heated upanger,tension and blood pressure on her own child who
was filled with so much love for her!!!Anger is the most dangerous emotion among all theother negative emotions which develops quickly whentriggered, and this is proved in its very name beingANGER, which is only one letter short of DANGER!

Anger has dangerous effects on our body as it heats up the blood, so much so that it takes three months forthe blood to cool down. Within that period the nerves
become weaker, even the blood cells get destroyed.Weakness is aggravated, and the memory power isreduced. All these lead to premature old age.

According to Dr.Frank Baranowski, the Kirlianscientist who can see and read auras, the color ofanger in our auras is a murky red, a most unpleasantsight to behold.He said that a burst of anger couldgenerate enough energy to light up an electric bulb!

Alas the anger in so many parts of the world at thepresent time would be truly frightening if we did nothave the firm belief, and assurance, that in due course it will be transformed and conquered by thepower of love.




We are constantly affecting others by our auricvibrations according to our state of mind. Thesevibrations can uplift or contaminate them, be calm, peaceful and loving, or depressing, negative or evendownright evil. There is a reason why a belligerentcrowd, seeking revenge or filled with anger or hate iscalled an uglycrowd. It is indeed and each member infects the one next to him, resulting in unreasoningmob hysteria.

By contrast the aura of a saintly person is literallyout of this world. As Baranowski and others havedescribed it: the white for energy is fantastic, his handmovements are spirals of energy. There is a pureblue, and mauve, but above all the rose pink ofuniversal selfless love which flows out to embrace anentire audience of people; and even beyond that bands of gold and silver … for those of us without theclairvoyant gift, to be within that aura is abenediction"!

So let us constantly monitor our emotions and striveto eradicate even our petty irritations, thoughtlessness, selfishness negativity and above all,anger – in fact that is lacking in love, alwaysremembering God's omnipresence in our daily lives.And if and when we are privileged to be in physical presence of our Gurus or any saintly person, it iscertainly not the color of our saris of which he takesnote, but the color of our thoughts!!:)

Hence it is our task, our duty, to control ourthoughts and emotions all the time and in all circumstances to send out love.

It is certainly not easy on occasions but it can beachieved.

The great soul Paramahansa Yogananda demonstrated thisin a dramatic fashion when he was attacked in America, by three thugs who demanded his money in no uncertainterms. He felt and showed no fear, simply handed themhis purse, and looked at them with pure love. Heprojected such love that the thugs were struck by some force they did not understand. Then one of them handedhis purse, mumbling `We can't take it from you, andthey fled in panic!'!!

The only antidote for anger is LOVE!
