Tap to open in glossary → 1879, Swami Shri Sahajanandji Maharaj was seated on the veranda of the southern-facing room in the court of Dada Khachar in Gadhada. He was dressed entirely in white garments. Around His neck, He wore garlands of white and yellow chrysanthemums, and tassels hung from both sides of His turban. In front of His lotus face, an assembly of paramahansas and devotees from various regions was seated. Then Shriji Maharaj asked Muktanand Swami a question, "When you get angry, what is the cause? And how much of a cause must there be for anger to arise?" The meaning of anger must be that anger includes not speaking, sulking—all of that is the family of anger. All of those are called the family of anger. Many people do not eat, right? If they sulk, they do not eat. So what does that mean? Anger has arisen within them, but there is no way to express it. So that anger goes inside. The way to express it outside, the door is closed, otherwise anger would make a loud noise. But it is not possible to make a loud noise. If someone slaps them, then their mouth shuts, it swells up, so making a loud noise is not possible, and then they go to sleep, hiding in a corner. So that is also considered a type of anger. All of this happens, by what cause does it happen to you? By what cause does it happen to you if all of this happens? All of this, that is. How much of a cause must there be for it to happen? So sulking, Maharaj said that if it has become a habit, and if they are not allowed to have their way, they either sleep, or cry, or sleep. At the very least, they either fight, or do that, saying they will even die. They would even die. They do that much. This is called anger. All of these negative natures are all anger... Although Maharaj spoke of anger, all of those are anger. It is called the family of anger. Wherever there is an opportunity, it comes and stands at the door. Especially sulking and all of this, that is the direct result of anger. Then Shriji Maharaj asked Muktanand Swami a question, "When you get anger, what is the cause? And how much of a cause must there be for anger to arise?" "And as for Us, even if someone causes a loss of one to a hundred thousand rupees, anger does not arise for Our own sake. And when dharma dharma 1) Universal law or principle that 'sustains' or 'upholds' the entire world. Righteousness, morality, religion, Tap to open in glossary → ..." Even when Shriji Maharaj was there, they would not go for the darshan darshan Seeing. To see with admiration and devotion.

So, what does it mean that they do not go for darshan darshan Seeing. To see with admiration and devotion.

If it were possible for them, they would express anger towards them. They would make a loud noise. But now, since making a loud noise is not possible, they sulk like this. They do that, they do this, they do all such things. So that is anger itself. But what... the point here is that these are all forms of anger. They are all forms of anger. But from what cause does it arise? How much of a cause must there be for it to arise? That is Maharaj's question. Right, it is very nice, so Maharaj has asked about its root. What cause makes it manifest in one of these forms? Like that. Then Shriji Maharaj asked Muktanand Swami a question, "When you get angry, what is the cause? And how much of a cause must there be for anger to arise? And as for Us, even if someone causes a loss of one to a hundred thousand rupees, anger does not arise for Our own sake." That 'how much of a cause' is what Maharaj wrote. How much of a cause must there be? Up to a hundred thousand rupees is fine. So today, that would be ten to twenty million. The prices must have increased two hundred times. Because how much was it?

So now it has increased that many times. So a hundred thousand rupees would be more than ten million. The value of one to a hundred thousand rupees. If they cause a loss, He said how much of a cause that is for Us. And now, Maharaj also tells which cause it is. "And as for Us, even if someone causes a loss of one to a hundred thousand rupees, anger does not arise for Our own sake."
That is, if they ruin His own things. If they cause a loss of one to a hundred thousand rupees to Us, anger does not arise in Us.
