Why We Shout In Anger
A Hindu saint who was visiting river Ganges to take bath found a group of family members
on the banks, shouting in anger at each other. He turned to his disciples smiled ‘n asked.
‘Why do people shout in anger shout at each other?’
Disciples thought for a while, one of them said, ‘Because we lose our calm, we shout.”But,
why should you shout when the other person is just next to you? You can as well tell him
what you have to say in a soft manner.’ asked the saint
Disciples gave some other answers but none satisfied the other disciples.
Finally the saint explained, .
‘When two people are angry at each other, their hearts distance a lot. To cover that distance
they must shout to be able to hear each other. The angrier they are, the stronger they will
have to shout to hear each other to cover that great distance.
What happens when two people fall in love? They don’t shout at each other when they are
angry but talk softly, Because their hearts are very close. The distance between them is
either nonexistent or very small…’
The saint continued, ‘When they love each other even more, what happens? They do not
speak, only whisper ‘n they get even closer to each other in their love. Finally they even
need not whisper, they only look at each other ‘n that’s all. That is how two close people are
when they love each other.’
And this is the Language of Love, which Guru speaks with millions of HIS Disciples spread
across the Globe.
He looked at his disciples and said.
‘So when you argue do not let your hearts get distant, Do not say words that distance each
other more, Or else there will come a day when the distance is so great that you will not find
the path to return.’
