Anger and Inner Attacks

If someone gets angry, it can happen that mentally they curse someone or break somebody’s head – they are doing it all with their mind. Then what happens? The anger turns into action. While walking in your room, you may get hurt. You cannot imagine: “What is the matter? I did nothing wrong.” You are just standing there, and then you get a shooting pain in your leg. Or in your own room, you walk into your door and hurt yourself. How can it be? This door you have seen all your life. Perhaps you think it is your carelessness.

It is not your carelessness. Somebody who is so hostile to you at that time is throwing all their anger at you, and then you are getting the result. You may say, “I have done nothing wrong,” but somebody has turned against you to such an extent, all of his or her destructive forces have attacked you. You may not know where the attack is coming from, but you get this experience all of a sudden in your room.

If your consciousness is good, you may say, “I have done nothing wrong. Why did I all of a sudden get serious muscle cramps? Why are my legs shaking? What have I done?” It can happen for various reasons, but somebody is thinking ill of you or sending destructive forces.

Sometimes I get a letter from a person who is angry at someone. When I get a very serious angry letter, when people curse me, I laugh. At that time my anger does not rise up, believe me. Most of the time when I get angry letters, I start laughing – I do not get angry.

These are really heart-opening and eye-opening experiences.
