Miracles through Mind: Letting go of Anger

Take a bottle of mineral water in your hands and apply pressure on it from both sides. What will come out of it? Mineral water. Take a flavored juice box in your hands and press it from both sides. What will come out of it? Flavored juice. Take an orange, keep it between your hands and press it. What will come out of it? Orange juice.

Why did mineral water, flavored juice and orange juice come out? Because the bottle had mineral water inside it, the juice box had juice inside it, and the orange had orange juice inside it. Who pressed them, what were their intentions and at what time were they pressed, these questions don’t matter at all. What was inside came out.

We have a misunderstanding, “I became angry because the other person did something which I don’t approve.” The anger was inside and when the other person applied pressure, the anger came out! Exactly the way orange juice came out when pressure was applied on an orange. So, if we practice treating ourselves only with love, if we spend more days with ourselves, more hours in a day, more minutes in an hour, if we stay with ourselves and start liking ourselves so that we know how to talk to ourselves with love. Also, while talking with that love, we start to accept ourselves and fall in love with ourselves slowly. Then love will start filling us. Now, even if the other person does something that we disapprove of, what do you think will come out when we feel the pressure? Only love! If anger is not present inside, how can it come out?

What we have within us comes out under the pressure of situations.
