In this video I would like to talk about the space in which anger resides. Throughout the day or many times a day we get angry on small small thing. It could be we get angry with people, with a certain circumstance, something doesn’t work out in our favor.
So what causes this anger to arise within us. Anger can only reside in a space where there is no power, in other words if you are in a situation or you are confronting a person and you have no power over the outcome… the result could be you create anger.
For example you are looking for jobs and not passing the interviews, now this is a situation that can create anger within you. Anger either about yourself or the firms not selecting you.
The real background reason is the feeling of no power. It is your powerlessness that causes this anger to rise within you. It is like a small child who wants a toy but the parents are not handing over the toy. The child will start screaming out of powerlessness. As we grow up we do the same thing, we create anger, we shout at people, we shout in certain situations, we hang on to grudges because of the same powerlessness. We even get happy when something bad happens to somebody we despise. This false happiness is also a resultant of powerlessness, we have no power over that person, we cannot confront that person for some reason, so when something bad happens to that person we have this happiness within thinking he /she deserved it.
But living from this space or dimension of powerlessness and creating anger within is only affecting us. It is only spoiling our day to day living. And if we understand that it is not always possible to be in control of situations and people, and the emotion of anger that arises within is from the space of no power.
Anger arises out of unconsciousness, when you are not in touch with yourself. When you are so dependent on something on the outside to gain happiness from. A regular practice of staying in touch with yourself can greatly improve your chances of not getting angry, of not following prey to situations where you are not in control.
A regular practice of self awareness of just being aware of yourself on a feeling level, of being aware of whats happening within and not running away from it, not trying to do something to just avoid it for the moment. Build up the courage to look within, build up the courage to just feel what is happening within consciously and you will see that this powerlessness is not a weakness anymore, it is not a stimulus to create anger within because consciousness will shine upon it. Consciousness will correct the situation from within, I don’t mean consciousness will correct the situation on the outside but it will change the way you feel about the situation.
Your wrong patterns of thinking, which is creating this state of no power within that you start to scream and shout in an attempt to gain control of the situation. This need within to have control on the outside is what consciousness will heal.
So self awareness is of utmost important for us to live life successfully, to live life peacefully in calm and stability.
Don’t fall prey to this unconscious powerlessness within. Live consciously, be in touch with yourself, be in touch with the source of your life. Be in touch with life itself.
It is there within you, all goodness and positivity. All you need to do is be in touch with it. When your mind is stable, you will take the right decisions, it is the space of unconsciousness where all negativity and powerlessness comes from.
When you are in touch with yourself you are powerful and in control of your mind.
