This time on Healing at the Edge, RamDev gives a talk on:

• Having a neutral view of anger (not good v. bad) and consciously allowing ourselves to feel it 
• Recognizing anger as a valid response to the state of the world
• Seeing all beings and experiences—even those that trigger anger—as expressions of the Divine
• Noticing that we are often not angry for the reasons we think we are
• Lessening one’s self-absorption as a key point of the spiritual path 
• Cultivating gratitude and appreciation for everyone we encounter
• Exploring Guru Yoga: merging with the guru’s wisdom and presence
• Realizing our inherent wholeness and receiving blessings from the guru
• Becoming nobody so that there is no one to become lost in anger
• Transmuting outer devotion to tantric, inner devotion
• Feeling anger and sadness without becoming consumed by it
• Remembering that the same shakti fueling anger can also power creativity

“Anger is not good or bad. Anger is often a reasonable response to what is going on in the world. Yet, it is a difficult emotion because it’s so hot, and it’s often very sudden. In Buddhism, fear and anger are thought to be the same emotion.” – RamDev
