"Anger is a negative Vritti, or whirpool in the mind-lake. It is born of ignorance. (...) Anger is often accompanied by a desire to take vengeance, or to obtain satisfaction from the offending party.
It begins in folly and ends in repentance.
The fire you kindle for your enemy burns yourself.
When anger arises, think of the consequences. It will soon subside.
You think of objects of senses. Attachment to these objects develops. From attachment desire is born. From desire anger comes forth. From anger proceeds delusion; from delusion confused memory; from confused memory the destruction of reason; from destruction of reason you perish"
Swami Sivananada "Conquest of Anger"
