Once upon a time, Buddha was sitting with his disciples. One of his disciples asked
him, Lord, how can we control our anger? Buddha said, I tell you a story. By listening to
this story, you will learn to control your anger. And the story goes like this. Once
upon a time, there lived a quarrelsome lady in a village. She used to get angry over little
things. In anger, she used to say a lot of abusive words. And when her anger subsided,
she would feel very sorry. Her whole family was upset because of her this habit. And there
was always an atmosphere of quarrel in her family. One day, a sage came to the door of
woman asking for alms. The woman told her problem to the monk. She said, Oh, wise one,
I get angry very quickly. I could not control my anger even if I wanted to. Tell me some
solution so that I can control my anger. The monk took out a small bottle of medicine from
his bag and gave it to her and said, Take this. This is a medicine of anger. Whenever
you get angry, put four drops of the medicine on your tongue and keep it in the mouth for
10 minutes. Do not open the mouth for 10 minutes. Otherwise, the medicine will not have any
effect. Saying this, the monk left from there. The woman started using the medicine. As per
instructions of the monk. In just seven days, she lost her habit of getting angry. After seven days,
when the monk again came to her door, the woman fell at his feet and said, Oh, wise one,
your medicine has done wonders to me. I don't get angry now because of taking your medicine. And
there is an atmosphere of peace in my family too. Hearing her words, the monk smiled and said,
Daughter, there was no medicine in that vial. In fact, it was filled only with water. You have
not controlled your anger by this medicine, but you have controlled your anger by keeping quiet.
After telling this story, Buddha said that anger can only be controlled by keeping quiet because
angry person speaks abusive words, which sparks controversy. So the cure for anger is only silence.
If we see in our life, we will find that often there are moments in our life when we get angry
and lose our composure. And when someone gets angry, his mind stops working and his mouth
starts talking. In anger, the person speaks such abusive words for which he has to repent later.
Angry person not only commits mental violence, but can also commit physical violence,
due to which sometimes he has to regret in his whole life later on. Mostly physical violence
happens in those moments of anger, but anger lasts only for a few moments. If we keep silence
in those moments of anger, then we will be saved from many fights and quarrels.
Therefore, whenever you get angry, always keep calm, take a few drops of the medicine,
call silence in your mouth and close your mouth for some time and you will be saved
from many troubles to come.
This is WORDS OF WISDOM STORIES. Thanks for watching and keep smiling.
