Mouthpiece Whip

This morning Bhagavatam class discussed the anger and how to deal with it. This discussion was in the context of the appointment of Boar Lord speaks so Hiranyaksa to make angry. "The Personality of Godhead said: Indeed, we are creatures of the jungle, and we are looking after the hounds like you. Someone freedom from the tangle of death has no fear of idle talk in which they are falling, because they are bound by the laws of death. "

In this particular case, Krishna wanted to enjoy pastimes fighting, so to enhance their pleasure Hiranyaksa names (one of whose eyes are always on the gold), and was quite successful effort. In general, however, anger is something that is less than desirable. Anger is one of the anarthas (unwanted things) that are impediments to achieve the goal of Krishna consciousness.

There are so many verses about anger management in the shastras. The question is, how we deal with anger, especially anger that arises after having been insulted. Touch is usually taken to remove or suppress anger. Repression means that we are aware that we are angry but we hide the symptoms.

Repression means that we push down the anger and deny that we have a problem with it. Both repression and suppression are healthy responses to anger. The anger eventually will surface in another context, either as the anger directed toward other (innocent) object of anger or sublimated, which manifests as other harmful emotion.

Repressed or suppressed anger can also affect a toll on the physical body. One can develop different diseases, such as ATM (which is ground teeth and may even need a mouthpiece to protect teeth at night). Anger can also be internalized in organ damage.

Usually our physical problems (syndromes) are due to an emotional state that we have not agreed with. This is even can be applied to serious diseases like cancer and such. We certainly want to deal with our response to insults in a healthy manner then Krishna consciousness.

What are some healthy ways to cope with the insults? One method that I call the method Jada Bharata. Jada Bharata (who was Bharata Maharaja and then a deer) was insulted by a king when JB was helping to lead the Kings' palanquin. For pity JB jump to avoid some ants in his way. The king insults JB, JB, but responded explaining that all the insults that the king was launched in connection with the body, and in fact are not the body.

So in this particular method of dealing to insult one is completely convinced that one is not the body and is not attached to the body and bodily insults do not affect one. Another method is what I call the Thakura Haridas (compassion) method.

He was beaten in many different markets, but he felt great compassion for those who were trying to torment him. The third method that I call the method Dharma Bull. With this method means that the Supreme Personality of Godhead has organized this event for our edification.

Then one tries to understand what God is teaching you, what you have to learn how to act. The fourth method is the Token reaction. This means that one believes that one is receiving a token reaction to what has been done in the past.

It is also understood that if he / she continues to serve Krishna enthusiasm with your body, mind and words, despite this reaction, one will be a fit recipient of the mercy of Krishna. "The meaning of this verse is that when a devotee is in a parlous state takes it as a blessing of the Supreme Lord and blames himself for his past mistakes.

As such, it offers even more devotional service and is not disturbed. One who lives in such a mood, engaged in devotional service, is the most eligible candidate for promotion to the spiritual world. In other words, as a devout claim for promotion to the spiritual world is guaranteed in all circumstances .
