ਸਿੱਖਬਾਣੀ · SikhBani

Guru Arjan on Ang 887, in Raag Raamkalee, places the removal of anger from the mind in the Rahao line, making it the passage’s point for reflection. Guru Nanak on Ang 790 connects quieting anger with quieting ego, pride, desire, and self-conceit, suggesting that anger should be examined alongside the inner attachments that sustain it. On Ang 223, Guru Nanak presents forgiveness, good conduct, and contentment as genuine spiritual discipline; forgiveness therefore offers a constructive response when anger arises. Bhagat Kabir on Ang 483 describes anger being burned away together with desire and attachment to Maya, portraying its release as part of a wider inner transformation. Guru Nanak on Ang 15 warns that anger is a consuming fire and places that warning beside slander, drawing attention to harmful speech when anger is active. Together, these lines point toward recognizing anger’s destructive character, examining its roots in ego and attachment, practicing forgiveness and restraint, and making its removal from the mind a sustained spiritual concern.
