How can we conquer our anger? Well, in order to be in complete control of our temperament, we must employ thoughtfulness, peace, concentration & forgiveness in our behavior. Worship & prayer also help us conquer our anger. And once we learn how to nip our fury, we shall easily be able to discard contempt, ego and envy from our lives.
Whoever harms us can be treated with mercy and pity. We must treat oppression as a gift of God and shall try to consider sympathy and service as a means to attain and establish the intention of love and compassion all around.
Being contented is one of the means of achieving salvation. Contentment can be attained through benevolence, shedding of greed and considering everyone as equal. We must also try to curtail our desires as this shall rescue us from dejection and disappointment.
We must try to escape any sort of greed and attachment. Attachment and attraction are a kind of poison which are followed by sufferings and sadness. Happiness and sadness both go hand in hand. When a person gets attracted to something he unknowingly sows the poisonous seeds of sadness which gives birth to compassion, Compassion in turn is accompanied by desire of possession which leads to suffering and pain and destroys our entire being.
