This is the last remedy for anger. Until now we have increased our awareness and understood temporary and permanent preventative measures for anger. The most powerful of all methods is to use the anger liberation mantra. It is actually a question. The question is: “Exactly what's happening?” When you feel anger, what is exactly happening? When you start observing this, you will find that there is heat generated in your body due to anger. Your heartbeats are faster. Just acknowlege what is hapenning.When anger arises, there are some signals in the body such as:
1. Faster breath.
2. Redness of face.
3. Clenching of fists.
4. Redness of eyes.
5. Higher pitch of voice.
6. Trembling of body.
7. Stuttering of tongue.
Acknowledge all these and any other symptom on your body. As soon as you focus your attention on a part, the sympton or vibration present in that part disappears. This experiment will have two results. Firstly, anger will be transformed into awareness. Secondly, when you will search for anger within you, you will find that anger is simply not there. In this way you escaped the consequences of anger and anger was used creatively. In addition to that you also became aware. Now your understanding of anger has improved. Gradually you will develop this habit and then it will become very easy for you. Freedom from anger will not appear to be a big problem. Now you won’t say,“I am feeling angry.” Instead you will say, “My heart is beating faster or there is a vibration in these parts of my body or there is just some pressure sensation on this part.”
Anger is a disease of the mind, and awareness is its remedy. If anger is seen with awareness, then anger disappears. There is no need to fight with anger; instead you need to understand it with awareness. This is a very simple but effective technique, you can achieve total liberation from anger with this technique.
With this experiment, you will have heightened level of awareness. After that, whenever you will feel anger, you will know it with awareness. Even before getting angry, you will know it. Before anger arises, as soon as the breathing becomes faster, you will become aware. It will be impossible to get angry with consciousness because anger is the result of ignorance. The right knowledge is a sure remedy for anger.
So, if you want your anger to disappear, ask yourself: Exactly what’s happening?…
