Whenever you are angry, your light within has disappeared. In fact, you are angry because the light has disappeared; the darkness has entered. You can be angry only when you are unconscious, you cannot be angry consciously. Try it, either you will lose consciousness and anger will be there, or you will remain conscious and anger will not arise – you cannot be angry consciously. What does it mean? It means the nature of consciousness is just like light, and the nature of anger is just like darkness – you cannot have both. If the light is there, you cannot have darkness; if you are conscious, you cannot be angry. People come to me continuously and ask how not to be angry. They are asking a wrong question; and when you ask a wrong question it is very difficult to get the right answer. First ask the right question. Don’t ask how to dispel darkness, don’t ask how to dispel worries, anguish and anxiety, just analyze your mind and see why they are there in the first place. They are there because you are not conscious enough. So ask the right question: how to be more and more conscious? If you ask how not to be angry, you will become the victim of some moralist. And if you ask how to be more conscious, so anger cannot exist, so lust cannot exist, so greed cannot exist, then you are on the right track, then you will become a religious seeker.
