Next Time you Feel
Angry
Next time you feel angry, pause. That
moment of inner turbulence is not a weakness — it is an opportunity. In
Himalayan Samarpan Dhyanyog, as taught by Swamiji Shivkrupanandji, every
emotion is a gateway to deeper self-awareness. Anger, though often considered a
negative emotion, can become a stepping stone on the spiritual path if we learn
to observe it instead of reacting to it.
When anger arises, the usual instinct is
to project it outward — blaming a person, a situation, or even oneself. But the
teachings of Samarpan Dhyanyog guide us to do something radically different: to
turn inwards. To observe the energy of anger without judgment. In doing so, we
start seeing anger not as our identity, but as a visitor in our consciousness.
It comes and it goes. We are the silent witness.
Swamiji often says that our emotions are
like clouds, and our true self is like the vast sky. No matter how dense the
clouds, they cannot change the nature of the sky. Similarly, anger may cover
the mind for a while, but it cannot touch the purity of our soul. The key lies
in awareness. The moment you become aware of your anger, without justifying or
resisting it, a subtle space is created. In that space, transformation begins.
Through regular meditation, the inner
observer is strengthened. In the silence of Dhyanyog, we gradually become less
reactive. The same situation that once provoked anger may still arise, but your
response becomes conscious rather than impulsive. You are no longer controlled
by the emotion; you understand its transient nature. This understanding comes
not from books or theories, but from direct experience — by sitting in
meditation and watching the dance of thoughts and emotions within.
Anger often has roots in deep-seated
expectations, fears, or past wounds. In the light of meditation, these roots
become visible. We see that our anger may not really be about the present
moment — it could be old pain resurfacing. In that clarity, healing begins. We
stop blaming others and start taking responsibility for our inner state. That
is the true freedom that Samarpan Dhyanyog offers — the freedom from being
enslaved by emotional reactions.
Swamiji’s guidance is simple yet
profound: connect with your Gurutattva, the inner divine energy, and let it
purify your being. When anger arises, silently invoke the Guru within and offer
your emotion to that higher consciousness. Let it be burnt in the fire of
awareness. This is not suppression, but surrender. It is not denial, but deep
acceptance of what is, followed by letting go.
Every time you observe anger without reacting, you become stronger within. You gain a little more mastery over the mind. You come a little closer to your true self — the peaceful, joyful, and boundless consciousness that lies beneath the surface.
So, the next time anger flares up, remember: this is your moment. Not to shout, not to withdraw, but to awaken. Breathe, observe, and allow the presence of your inner Guru to hold you. In that awareness, the energy of anger can transform into clarity, compassion, and wisdom. This is the path of the Himalayan masters. This is the power of Samarpan.
