Paramahansa Yogananda; If a loved one is angry with us

[Jitendra Hydonus]

When a loved one is angry with us, or tries our patience beyond endurance, we should retire to a quiet place, lock the door, practice, some physical exercise, and then quiet ourselves in the following way:

Sit in a straight chair with spine erect; slowly inhale and exhale 12 times. Then deeply affirm mentally, 10 times or more: “Father thou art harmony. Harmonize my error-stricken dear ones.”

One should affirm this until he feels through the deep sense of peace and calm assurance falling upon him, that God has heard him and has answered.

[mccoy]

A very great suggestion, necessary not to retort with anger against anger.
