Anger and
Vengeance
Two
days ago I heard a story narrated by Sri Sivakumar in Sun TV in a programme
called ‘Aanmeega Kathaigal’ in Tamil. I reproduce translation of it in my own
words as I understood:
A sadhu while
walking along with his chela noticed a man angrily biting his chappal . The sadhu
wondered what exactly was wrong. So he asked the chela to enquire about it. The aide went to the man and did his
enquiry about the strange behavior of the man. The man said, “Sir I am
extremely angry . I bought this pair of slippers 3 days ago and isn’t comfortable.
Not only that, it bites me on my ankle
and I am seeing corns develope which hurt me. One slipper of the pair I threw
away, and I am taking revenge on this one by biting it and hurting it back.”
The
aide narrated the man’s version and added “The fellow is mad, and nothing can
be done to appease him and improve him. He is beyond repair. We have to be wary
of him”. The guru smiled and asked, “What have you learnt from this?”. The
disciple was silent and the Guru went on “When one is angry one loses control
over oneself and pushes oneself to take vengeance. One resorts to eccentric behavior
which others term as mad”
If
there is resemblance of the man’s behaviour to that of Aam Aadmi Party chief and of few in Indian National Congress, I assure
you it is coincidence
