things only raise anger and retort on the other side. I write this
        because  you are trying to rise above  yourself and dominate
        your vital and when one wants to do that, one cannot be too
        strict with oneself in these things. It is best even to be severe
        to one's own mistakes and charitable to the mistakes of others.
                                                       CWSA 29: 280

        Anger and the Psychic
            If the will is strong enough, it [anger] can be held in check —
        but usually it is only if the psychic being becomes entirely awake
        and governs the vital that the tendency to anger can entirely
        disappear.
                                     *
        When it is the psychic that rules all the movements of the be-
        ing, then it [anger] completely disappears and when the equa-
        nimity of the higher consciousness takes complete possession
        of the lower vital. Till then one can establish a control, diminish
        and reduce it to a touch that has no outward effect or a wave
        that passes without self-expression.
                                     *
        That [inner detachment] is the right thing that must happen al-
        ways when anger or anything else rises. The psychic reply must
        become habitual pointing out that anger is neither right nor
        helpful and then the being must draw back from these outward
        things and take its stand in its inner self, detach from all these
        things and people. It is this detachment that is the first thing
        that must be gained by the sadhak — he must cease to live
        in these outward things and live in his inner being. The more
        that is done the more there is a release and peacefulness. Af-
        terwards when one is secure in this inner being, the right thing
        to do, the right way to deal with men and things will begin to
        come.
