Gita on Anger

Here are two delights presented to you as Gita Verses to make you manage more towards your anger.

Bhagavad Gita Chapter 2 Verse 62

ध्यायतो विषयान्पुंसः सङ्गस्तेषूपजायते ।
सङ्गत्सञ्जायते कामः कामात्क्रोधोऽभिजायते ॥62॥

dhyāyataḥ = while contemplating; viṣayān = sense objects; puṃsaḥ = of a person; saṅgaḥ = attachment; teṣu = in the sense objects; upajāyate = develops; saṅgāt = from attachment; sañjāyate = develops; kāmaḥ = desire; kāmāt = from desire;

When a man constantly thinks about objects, attachment for those objects arises. From attachment is born desire, and from desire is born anger.

Bhagavad Gita Chapter 16 Verse 21

त्रिविधं नरकस्येदं द्वारं नाशनमात्मन: |
काम: क्रोधस्तथा लोभस्तस्मादेतत्त्रयं त्यजेत् || 21||

trividhaṃ = of three kinds; narakasya = of hell; idaṃ = this; dvāraṃ = gate; nāśanaṃ = destructive; ātmanaḥ = of the self; kāmaḥ = lust; krodhaḥ = anger; tathā = as well as; lobhaḥ = greed; tasmāt = therefore; etat = these; trayaṃ = three; tyajet = one must give up.;

There are three gates leading to the hell of self-destruction for the soul—lust, anger, and greed. Therefore, all should abandon these three.

This two verses of Gita on Anger shows you that anger is a very powerful emotion that can stem from feelings of frustration, hurt, annoyance, or disappointment. Anger can have a negative impact ( नरकस्येदं द्वारं ) on how people see you, impair your judgement and hijack your relationships and life. So, controlling anger is a necessity before it controls you !!
