Anger

You are in anger: anger grips you. You are temporarily mad, possessed: you are no more in your senses. Suddenly remember to be undisturbed - as if you are undressing. Inside, become naked, naked there from the anger, undressed. Anger will be there, but now you have a point within you which is not disturbed.

You will know that anger is there on the periphery. Like fever, it is there. The periphery is wavering; the periphery is disturbed, but you can look at it. If you can look at it, you will be undisturbed. Become a witness to it, and you will be undisturbed. This undisturbed point is your original mind. The original mind cannot be disturbed; it is never disturbed. But you have never looked at it. When anger is there, you become identified with the anger. You forget that anger is something other than you. You become one with it, and you start acting through it, you start doing something through it.

. . . This is the way to live. One moment be in it, but be in it so totally that nothing is left over to be in another moment. The child lives the moment of anger; then he moves. When better education is possible in the world, we will not teach children not to be angry. We will teach them to be angry but totally angry - and not to carry it. Anger in itself is not bad. To carry it, to accumulate it, is dangerous. Flashes of anger are beautiful - in fact, necessary; they give a tone to life. They make life more salty. Otherwise you will feel flaccid; you won't have a tone. It is good exercise in itself, and if one can be in it totally and come out of it totally, unscratched, nothing is wrong with it.
