thought for today

look at [anger] and see how trifling is the occasion of the rising of this anger and its outburst - it becomes more and more causeless - and the absurdity of such movements itself. It would not really be difficult to get rid of it if, when it comes, you looked at it calmly - for it is perfectly possible to stand back in one part of the being, observing in a detached equanimity even while the anger rises on the surface - as if it were someone else in your being who had the anger


- Sri Aurobindo [SABCL, 24:1410-11]
