ANGER!

Question: 

How does one transcend anger triggers that enable energy vampires to dissipate one’s essence?

Response:

We live daily with potential triggers for anger, especially from people who lack respect for others and, therefore, lack love. Many times, despite our best efforts and previous resolutions to remain calm, we still fall into anger when provoked. It is as though these triggers find a way to bypass our defenses, drawing us into a reactionary state. Perhaps it would be helpful if we keep the following hints in mind:

1. If anger can still rise up in us, it is a sign that we are still immature in that area and need to work on ourselves.

2. Anyone who can still generate anger within themselves is vulnerable to the influence of negativity and can be used by the darkness.

3. Even the word "infuriate" suggests the involvement of furies—a reminder that anger can be an external force seeking to control us.

4. This is not about the other person but about us. The real challenge is ensuring we do not fall prey to these triggers, as that is the very purpose of these malicious attacks.

Now, how do we transcend anger triggers? Here are a few points to consider:

1. Recognise That Those Who Act Coarsely Do Not Know What They Do

When someone treats you with disrespect, cruelty, or selfishness, remind yourself that they act out of ignorance. Many people are trapped in cycles of negativity, unaware of the effect they have on others. By recognising their blindness, you can free yourself from the expectation that they should know better. This shift in perspective allows you to disregard their actions more easily and even feel a measure of empathy towards them.

2. Resolve to Do Only What Is Good—Always

No matter how others behave, your path must be clear: to do only what is good. This is not conditional upon how you are treated, nor should it waver in the face of injustice. If your goal is to remain rooted in goodness, external provocations lose their power. The moment you allow another person’s actions to dictate your response, you surrender control over your own inner peace. A firm commitment or firm volition for what is good ensures that anger does not gain a foothold in your heart.

3. Make Everything You Do a Service to the Almighty

When you dedicate your actions to a higher purpose, every challenge transforms into an opportunity for spiritual growth. If your work, thoughts, and actions are aligned with  divine purpose, nothing external can truly shake your inner peace. Even when confronted with hostility, inconsideration, or malice, you will find an unshakable calm within. This state of being makes it impossible for anger triggers to control you because you are anchored in something far greater than fleeting emotions.

By applying these principles, we can rise above anger and refuse to be drained by energy vampires. In the end, our peace and happiness are not determined by others but by the choices we make in every moment.

Master yourself, and no one can master you.
