Many times in life we start considering ourselves so important that we think – “I am right, I know the best.” This thinking gradually sows the seeds of ego within us. But according to Osho, this ego is as dangerous as it is more destructive than anger. This anger not only contaminates our thinking and behavior, but also ruins our relationships, career and mental peace.
Deep relationship between ego and anger
Osho says that anger is no independent power in itself. He is only a shadow of ego. Whenever our ego is hurt, we get angry. If someone cuts us out, do not listen to us, or make us wrong, then a flame blows inside – “How did they reject my point?” This is the real ego of this “my”, and when it hurts it, anger arises. So Osho says that it is important to understand where he is coming from before trying to deal with anger. If you will fight with waves of anger, but do not recognize their sources i.e. ego, then this fight will never end.
Anger is not only on others, but also heavily on itself
Anger does not only affect the front person, but before that it burns you from within. Osho gives a beautiful example – “It is exactly the same as to drink poison with the intention of hurting someone else.” You think that you are harming the other, but in reality you are eating yourself. The decisions taken in anger are always incomplete, hurry and full of remorse. Relationships break, self-esteem falls and a deep guilt remains inside.
How to control this anger? Osho remedies
According to Osho, no one should force to deal with anger. Suppression is never a solution. Rather we have to learn to transform (convert) transform.
Practice meditation-Osho says that if you sit silently 20-30 minutes daily, look at your breath, then you will start looking at yourself from within. You will get his call before anger and you will be able to separate yourself from him.
Do not suppress anger, but look at him with witness – when you are angry, say to yourself – “I am angry.” Just look at this feeling. Do not drown in that anger. Gradually you will find that that energy is passing through you, but you are able to remain untouched by it.
Take recourse to physical creativity – Osho has told many times in his meditation camps that if anger is too deep, you can shout alone to take it out, can hit the pillow, hit the pillow, run. Its aim is to not suppress it, but to take out without harming others.
Keep a sense of humor and acceptance – It is the beginning of ego to take life more seriously. If you take everything a little light, learn to laugh, you can laugh at yourself, then there will be no basis of anger.
Identify the root causes – is your anger really on the fault of the front or it stems from your insecurity, childhood conditioning or inner incompleteness? When you go deep and understand the reason, anger automatically disappears.
Overcome anger means that life is controlled
Osho believes that the person who understood his anger understood life. Because anger is the place where the person forgets his real face only reacts. But when you move away from reactions to reaction, then the same moment becomes the beginning of your spiritual journey. When you stop giving water to the seeds of Aankar, the tree of anger also dries up. This is the message of Osho – come in, know yourself and then you will find that anger has no existence.
Ego and anger are two sides of the same coin. In the eyes of Osho, it is not a solution to understand them. When you do not suppress anger, but as a witness, then it is converted. Meditation, acceptance and depth inspection will take you to the inner peace where there is no anger, only love and compassion. If you also regains anger and regains regains, try to follow the path of Osho-maybe you can also take the first step towards meeting yourself.
