Love, Ego and Anger

There is hardly a human who hasn't experienced anger - it starts quite early, when as a baby you don't get the toy you want - you display displeasure and anger. We get angry when something that happens to us is not beneficial to our existence and identity. So in a way, anger has its roots in Ego.

Sahaj Marg considers both Anger and Ego as natural and divine in nature, as long as you understand their true nature. Anger should be directed towards that which goes against the universal good and evolution. So, it should not be restrained to one's personal good but the good of humanity. Ego, on the other hand, is considered necessary for evolution because Ego allows the individual to do the actions (in form of thoughts and deeds) necessary for one's evolution.

Love is the only thing that conquers all. Where there is love, there is an understanding and tolerance. There is a genuine concern for the well-being of others.

Here's a small skit that was presented by the children of Sahaj Marg - its cute and innocent but it carries a message.
