the anger, then one must fall at his feet, praying for forgiveness and must admit his mistake. Without being cooled down, if he begins to beat the other, the latter must take it for granted that the sins, committed by him in his previous lives, are being cleansed. Without showing any anger with an angry man, one has to behave in a gentle way and must pray, “Oh God, cool down the anger of the man.” if done so, then the feeling of anger of that man will go away and in its place will prevail Peace.”
sadhubaba said, “Only by means of patience and forgiveness one can kill anger.” Peace prevails in the heart that has both endurance and forgiveness. Thus by means of detachment one can triumph over desires, by means of contentment one can win temptation and by means of love one can conquer both jealousy and enmity. Thereafter, by dint of meditation and BrahmAvidya one can attain proper realization or wisdom and that would kill attraction, thereby paving the way for Peace.
ज्ञािं लब्धा पिां शान्न्मसचिेणालधगच्छतत॥ jñānaṃ labdhvā parāṃ śāntimacireṇādhigacchati.
(Gita: 4-39)
Once sadhubaba was asked, “if one goes on chanting the name of God, then does anger diminish in the process?” in reply, he said, “By chanting the name of God anger cannot be diminished. instead, as it comes in touch with Fire, one’s innate power is all the more increased. For that reason, one has to resort to forgiveness and contentment to put an end to anger. Contentment is the most beautiful thing on earth—the first and foremost thing required by a worshipper. Once when one is devoid of desires, he can contain his anger and can then earn contentment. a worshipper has to firmly resolve that under no circumstance will there be discontent. if a mind intends to do something good, God comes forward for the fruition of that good intention. Evil desires have to be always discarded.
One day sadhubaba drew our attention to the Dighariya hills in front and said that they are known as “The Devagiri hills”.
