How to Control Anger in Relationships

Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan gives a unique insight on how to control anger in relationships. He says, “When a machine gets too hot, you must leave it alone for a while and in a short time it will cool down. But if you keep meddling with it, you will get burnt.”

In any relationship, controlling anger becomes difficult when things do not go as planned, when there is a misunderstanding, when viewpoints clash, when you are wrongly accused or when you do not know how to reason. The results of anger are clearly visible around us. The environment becomes negative and your relationship with the other person starts to spoil.

So how should you deal with anger in these types of circumstances? First off, you need to remain calm and think about how you can deal with the situation without hurting the other person. This can only happen when you obtain the right understanding on how to stop being angry and how to deal with the situation by controlling anger.

Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan has given practically applicable keys of right understanding on how to control anger in any relationship or situation. Once you receive the knowledge of the Soul (Self Realization) this understanding on how to stop being angry can help you enrich your relationships further.
