The intellect makes one emotional and gnan (Ultimate Knowledge) keeps one calm. What would happen if a train that is running smoothly becomes emotional?

Questioner: There would be an accident.

Dadashri: If the train does not stay on the tracks, there will be an accident. Similarly, when a man becomes emotional, so many living organisms within him are killed. The moment anger arises, millions of lives are destroyed within him, but even then people claim that they practice non-violence (ahinsa or ahimsa). People need to be aware that they are committing great violence when they become emotional and get angry.

The way to conquer anger

The external activities of the world: the thoughts, speech, and acts of human beings do not change. However, if one changes his bhaav (deep inner intention), then it is enough.

People say they want to stop their anger. One cannot stop it immediately. Firstly, he must recognize what anger is and the causes behind it are. How is it born and who are its parents? All this has to be determined even before anger is understood.
