Mental Balance 2

Remaining part of the mental balance - 1
How can the all-destructive anger be controlled? It has been seen that despite resolving firmly not to become angry, many a time such situations arise that our resolve breaks does and anger bursts forth. Only when the mind is at peace, the person realizes that he had become angry. When a man becomes angry on someone without harming him, he express anger on own self because he wants to punish himself and thereby causes personal loss. Thus, anger takes a person to the state of madness.
Intelligent and thoughtful persons do not allow anger to grip them although the reason for anger exists. They take the support of discretion and control this harmful impulse and thus save themselves from harm. Daily some event takes place from which one derives cheer and happiness. Sometimes on seeing someone we feel sadness and revulsion. With some events related to us we feel pain, dejection, anger, excitement etc. The body suffers from reactions in the form of excitement etc and the centre of all these reactions is the brain. Because the brain is the controller and administrator of the body, the changes occurring there influence the body also. This has always been a subject of research for psychiatrists.
Mental tension or pressure caused by anger, revulsion, suppressed feelings or despair may not only slow down digestion, but it may also cause other disturbances in the digestive system. Ulcers can occur in the stomach and intestines. Symptoms of premature ageing may start with mental tension and pressure.
Thus so many adverse effects are caused on the body because of imbalances of the mind and of all such imbalances; anger is the most vicious and shows its influence immediately.
When the impulses of mental imbalances become intense, the flow of digestive juices may decrease or increase. This disturbs the smooth function of the digestive tract. When the mind is at peace the emotions are of a peaceful nature and the digestive system also works smoothly. Depending on the type of emotion, the flow of the digestive juices may either increase or decrease. If the emotion is of severe fear, the flow decreases and if the emotion is anger, the flow increases.
The poisonous sugar resulting in the internal metabolism because of anger is the most dangerous for digestive system. By its mixture in the blood-flow it spoils it, producing a yellow coloration of the body, tension in the arteries and veins, and pain in the waist. When a child drinks the milk o fan angry mother, he suffers from gripes in the stomach. The milk of a mother who is always angry is sometimes so harmful that the child may start wasting instead of gaining in weight.
Anger destroys not only the body's strength or energy but also mental energy. A man can do hard work for 9 hours with the energy that is spent in expressing anger. Along with destruction of energy, anger puts its indelible stamp on the person's health and destroys the natural beauty of the face. Hence it is in our own interest to save ourselves from anger.
Anger is occasionally necessary for an individual's survival in society. It takes a long time for creating compassion and discretion in the people in whom evil has taken deep roots and by that time such people have done a lot of damage. When an evil person's tendency of harming others becomes intolerable, it becomes necessary to express anger against such a person. This anger must not result from an upset or excited mind but from discretion and proper thinking.
Anger is an expression of opposition to something unpleasant or some deceit against us. It is expressed as excitement or impulse and suppresses the ability to discriminate between right and wrong and then it degenerates into quarrels, bitterness and fights. The family of the emotion of anger is large - imbalance, upset mind, arrogance and intolerance are its family members.
Enmity results from suppressing the outward expression of anger and mentally burning with anger against someone. This enmity causes even greater harm than anger as such. Anger is always a result of haste. When you find that something wrong is going on or if some loss occurs, then do not come to a decision about its cause in haste. Remember that more or less there is a mistake - rather hasty - conclusion about the cause. Therefore wherever something has gone wrong or some loss has occurred, go away from that place, stroll in a nice garden or go a friend, and talk to him. If you can't do any of these, drink a glass of cold water and cool down. There is always loss in increasing the anger and definite benefit in dousing it.
Whenever you get angry, immediately try to divert your mind in some work requiring physical labor. Whenever you get an undesirable result for your work, involve your mind in some study. Also consider daily physical exercise as a must for maintaining physical and mental health.
Just as you learn to control anger, similarly learn to control emotions like worry, unhappiness, upsets etc. Only those who adopt a balanced view for the life can accept various emotions in a neutral and balanced manner. Even then if uncontrollable emotions burst forth in certain circumstances, do not try to suppress them forcibly. The best way of tackling excitement is to remove it from the mind in some way or the other.
