The document discusses anger management. It states that anger can be both admired and condemned, depending on how it is expressed. Anger that leads to violence, hatred, or crime is abhorred, while anger against injustice may be justified. The key is properly managing anger so it does not erupt uncontrollably and harm oneself or others. The document recommends the practice of "Namasmaran" as the simplest way to transform anger into a benevolent force through holistic thinking.

MANAGEMENT

2. Anger is a strange phenomenon! We like it as well as
we hate it!
Thus; we feel; though we may not overtly say it; that
anger is a sign of liveliness, heroism and even divinity.
Thus; we find that anger against injustice, oppression,
exploitation, fanaticism, barbarism, inequality, is
directly or indirectly; not only justified; but actually
adored!
But having said that; we read several examples where
anger is condemned and loathed! Thus; the anger that
leads to hatred, vengeance, revenge, indiscriminate
violence, terrorism and other malicious crimes; is
abhorred!
In short; anger is like electricity, which if properly
channellized serves constructive purpose and if short
circuited, leads to hazards.
If and when the anger within us erupts uncontrollably
like a volcano; it manifests in indiscriminate violence
in our speech, writing, physical behavior and other

3. transactions. Thus in a spur of moment we may shout,
abuse some one in public interview, write harsh letters
or articles, physically assault some one, file a suit in a
court of law, or actually go further and get involved in
worse sociopathic activities.
Thus; if our anger is not managed properly, our
otherwise selfless and divine anger against injustice,
oppression, exploitation, crimes, corruption etc; may
turn into indiscriminate violence against self or the
other innocent people at home or in the society. I need
not give examples; as they are too obvious.
If our anger related to personal maters, is not
managed properly; then we may lose friends, may get
distanced from our parents or children, or may get
isolated as asocial individuals in the society. We may
turn into antisocial or criminal elements in the society
and may also; have to be convicted, jailed and
punished in accordance with the gravity of the bout of
our anger!

4. Is it not true that we often repent because of
unleashing a violent bout of anger on our parents,
children, friends or spouse? Mismanaged anger is a
source of “avoidable pain, agony and misery” for self
and others.
Having seen these hazards of mismanaged anger; it is
obvious that anger management is extremely
important and essential. We have to mange anger
properly so that we or the others; don’t have to suffer
and/or repent.
Let us realize that the anger; can not be eradicated.
To a greater or lesser extent; it is going to be with us
for ever. Hence we should not keep trying to be free
from anger! Our anger has to be transformed into
objective and benevolent force.
How can we achieve this?
Apart from many steps described in the book on
“SUPERLIVING”; the simplest and most important
remedy is; the practice of NAMASMARAN!

5. NAMASMARAN leads to; culmination of; every
metabolic, endocrine and nervous activity responsible
for anger; into “most fulfilling; holistic perspective,
thinking, feelings and behavior conducive to
individual and universal blossoming!
One may not believe in this but verify oneself!
