Swami Mukundananda

What should I do when anger or disgust suddenly rises in me?

Watch the emotion like an animal in a cage

When an emotion arises, don't respond immediately, just watch it and distance yourself from it. This enables you to ride the emotion, as people surf the gentle waves on the beach.

The concept behind it is this: when emotions arise, don't respond immediately, just watch them. For example, at the zoo you see animals in cages.
