On Negative Emotions

Anger

"When you get angry, you loose energy through your eyes, nose, mouth, ears and every pore of your body. Only by practising mental restraint can you preserve the energy gained from sadhana."

"Doing sadhana while harbouring anger and desire is like drawing water from a well with a bucket full of holes."

Anger and Pride

"You won't benefit from sadhana if you do spiritual practices while harbouring anger and pride. It is like a flashlight running on batteries that looses all power after being turned on a number of times."
