In Hindu mythology, there is a story about Lord Vishwith anger. Two demons, Madhu and Kaitabha, born from the dirt of Lord Vishnu's ear, troubled the lord. Madhu means 'anger' and Kaitabha means 'hatred'. Lord Vishnu fought for a thousand years, but he could not win over them.
How could he destroy the anger and hatred that he had himself created? So, he called Devi-Divine Consciousness. When consciousness arises, anger and hatred dissolve. With the help of water, Devi destroyed Madhu and Kaitabha. Here, water represents 'love'. So, with the help of love, consciousness destroyed anger and hatred. When consciousness fills with love, neither anger nor hatred remains-only eternal love remains.
Anger and hatred arise from listening. Neither the Creator (Brahma) nor the Destroyer (Shiva) listens. Both just do their job and leave. But those who manage the world and its affairs (Vishnu) have to listen to everyone. That is when anger appears.
WHY PEOPLE ARE FIGHTING: THE ROOT CAUSE
People fight because they feel they are right. This feeling of righteousness gives them the strength to fight. If someone feels they are wrong, they do not have the strength to fight.
This limited and narrow sense of righteousness has created the worst in the world. All the wars of the world have taken place because of it.
If we broaden our vision and look at the truth impartially, we will see a different picture.
Our sense of righteousness is amental concept; beyond that, is the real cause of any effect.
Wisdom is looking into that real and ultimate cause.
In today's world, there are so many things that make us angry. And then anger is followed by guilt, violence, hurt, and hatred. It becomes difficult to break the cycle.
Here are some tips for you to break this cycle, and become free and happy again:
