[Jitendra Hydonus]

“Wrath springs only from thwarted desires. I do not expect anything from others, so their actions cannot be in opposition to wishes of mine. I would not use you for my own ends; I am happy only in your own true happiness.” ~ Sri Yukteswar

I think the biggest eye opener for me when I’ve been faced by anger is the recognition that anger springs from not having things go the way you would like them. Or to state it more elegantly; Wrath springs from thwarted desire.
