Questioner: What is the main reason behind a man's anger?
Dadashri: He gets angry because he loses sight. One bumps into a wall when one does not see it. In the same way, he cannot see from within, which is why anger occurs. When he cannot see what lies ahead of him, anger overcomes him.
Anger occurs where there is lack of insight
When does anger take place? It is when his vision (darshan) and his knowledge (gnan) become obstructed, that his anger arises. The same happens when a person is overcome with pride.
Questioner: Please illustrate this point with an example.
Dadashri: do people not ask you why you get angry? You would tell them that it was because you could not think clearly. Yes it is when people cannot think clearly that they become angry. Would they get angry if they were able to think? What is your reward for getting angry? Your only reward is that its sparks first sets you on fire and then you burn others.
