00:00 There cannot be anger without the frustration of desire.
00:04 You cannot be angry if your desire has not been defeated.
00:10 Anger is an upsurge of energy.
00:11 Do you see what happens when you are angry?
00:13 What happens?
00:14 There is a rush of adrenaline.
00:16 Your limbs start shaking with energy.
00:18 Your eyes lit up.
00:19 Your cheeks get flushed with blood.
00:22 You are all ready with more energy to do something.
00:24 Do what?
00:25 Have you never noticed?
00:26 It's like this, you have a desire to reach there and there is an obstacle in the way.
00:32 Now you are angry.
00:33 Now there is so much of energy and it is needed to overcome the obstacle.
00:37 That is why anger provides you with so much energy.
00:39 So that you may defeat the obstacle and fulfil your desire.
00:42 Where there is frustration of desire, there is anger.
00:45 Whenever you would place your desire outside of you, you would find that there is an obstacle.
00:50 You know, what is that obstacle?
00:51 That obstacle is yourself.
00:53 All anger in some way therefore is against yourself and hence is self-destructive.
