Cause of anger dhyana

Sri Sadgurubhyoh Namah

Chapter 2, Text 62
dhyayato visayan pumsah
sangas tesupajayate
sangat sanjayate kamah
kamat krodho 'bhijayate



TRANSLATION
While contemplating the objects of the senses, a person develops attachment for them, and from such attachment lust develops, and from lust anger arises.

Dhyana : Bring to your mind something you intensely desire and which you are not able to acquire. Observe that the mind (heart  center)  is subjected to suffering because of the longing desire in your mind. Search your mind on why you have such desire for that object (thing, or person). Find the root cause of the desire. Understand that initially, there is no desire, but on continuously thinking about an object, desire arises to acquire that object. If you acquire, then temporarily, mind becomes silent. If not able to acquire, then unfulfilled desire leads to anger. Understand that all anger is because of unfulfilled desires, and the root cause of desire is the constant thinking of that object.
