"Anger breeds danger." - Baba ( Baba .... Sri Satya Sai Baba)" Do not shout, do not talk longer than necessary, and do not talk when there is no need to talk!" - Baba" Practice Sadhana relentlessly to discipline your mind and to develop your moral and mental strength. " - Baba
"Set right your habits, purify your conduct and cleanse your behavior. Even one bad habit can destroy all health, happiness, charm and joy. Control yourself and do not yield to the temptations of friends or social conventions and become prey to bad habits. The body is the temple of the Lord. Keep it in good and strong condition. Also be aware that it can be damaged from qualities such as anger, hatred and greed, or from sloth, sleep and inactivity. When you get angry and/or violent with anyone, quietly repeat the Name of the Lord to save you from your anger. Drink a glass of cold water, or lie down in a bed until the fit of fury passes through. When you are angry, you abuse another and the other person does the same, so tempers rise and heat is generated which causes lasting injury. Five minutes of anger can damage five generations of relationship, so be careful."

SIX IMPORTANT GUIDELINES IN LIFE
-Tarun Gupta
"When you're alone, mind your thoughts;
When you're with friends, mind your tongue;
When you're angry, mind your temper;
When you're with a group, mind your behavior;
When you're in trouble, mind your emotions;
When you're successful, mind your ego."
Worry....
"Worry is strikingly similar to the character symbolising a funeral pyre. Worry drains the mind of much of its power and, sooner or later, it injures the soul." (Robin Sharma's The Monk Who sold his Ferrari, pp 42)
(Let us try to avoid to put this toxic waste 'Worry' into the fertile garden of our mind ...)
"Never regret your past. Rather, embrace it as the teacher that it is." ( Robin Sharma's The Monk who sold his Ferrari, pp 16.
The two disciplines vital for everyone ....
# Personal Mastery
# Self responsibility
