IF YOU ARE ANGRY INSIDE



For one reason or another, in the aftermath of my angry moments, my body gets tired as much as my soul does. Getting tired or wearing itself out: name it as you like it. We need to wear ourselves out, let ourselves grow old, so that new ones come along.

How high is the number of living creatures in the form of humans, disguised as humans, who are eager to be in this spotlight. They are unaware of the fact that being on stage makes you lose your human virtues and turns you into a monkey existing solely to amuse humans. Still, all the creatures who have been unable to analyze their essential nature, are sacrificed under that very spotlight.

Anger does not derive from our nature or existence, but from our eagerness to exist. What leads to anger is the deficiencies that result from the desire to realize oneself, being not happy with ones present existence. It is a feeling produced by those who have not yet reached themselves, or who felt scared when faced with the self they have reached. If you have anger inside, you have your reasons to let yourself go. But you should know that you cannot be the one who will let yourself go, not in this life, or in any life to come.

Through the layers of the soul, the path of discovery has no end. When your sins, which you have formerly considered to be saplings, appear on your path in the form of huge plane trees, you will see that not even a small ant may find space on their shade.

How painful it is, to face the smallness of the enormous.  Cruelty does not only address the others. In fact, we are the ones who become the greatest victims of our own cruelty. Could we have lied to a single other person in the universe, as much as we have lied to our own selves?
