To
tame anger and other negative emotions is a hard and slow process,
which requires patience, persistence and time. There was once a huge
wrestler who was strutting along a street, proud of his physical
strength and victory over many rivals. As he passed by, an innocent
middle aged woman laughed at his stature. The wrestler observed this,
gnashed his teeth in anger and was about to pounce on her. The woman
retorted, “How can you consider yourself strong when you cannot even
take a woman’s laughter calmly?” The wrestler, in a split second,
realized his folly and hung his head in shame. Forbearance (Sahana) is the best spiritual practice (Sadhana). Practice forbearance and fortitude - this is the foremost and greatest lesson from the scriptures.
