When kama (desire) and krodha (anger) are rising in hot
flames from the heart, how can the cool rays of Shanthi (peace), Sathya (truth),
Ahimsa (non-violence) and Prema (love) emanate therefrom? This human birth is a
rare chance. Use it for spreading joy, not grief. Of
course it is natural for man to resent, to grow angry. You
should not allow anger free and furious scope. The raging floods
have to be restrained by bunds and dams so that the water may reach
the sea without scouring the fields on either bank. You must set
limits to your own anger and hatred, and honour those limits.
