Dear Sravna,
You have to understand that sometimes we cannot react they way we really want becos of law and also position in society that we have to maintain or forced to abide according to professional rules of conduct.
A patient shouting at a doctor can get away with it but a doctor shouting back at the patient even though patient was in the wrong..the doctor has to be answerable to the medical council if there is a complain.
So you see one must still learn how to smile and cope with situations and after a while we get used to be playing Mr Nice Guy and anger eventually loses its footing in us.
So these days if anyone makes me angry..I just think in my mind "Narakam Gaccha Shunaka"(Go to Hell Dog) and just smile to myself thinking Ha Ha Ha..he has no idea what I am thinking of him.
I prefer thinking in Sanskrit cos just in case I blurt out those words it might still sound like a mantra!LOL
So you see those emotions are still there but I would not call it anger..but just momentary feeling of dissatisfaction which can be handled in a less violent manner.
I somehow do not buy all this Sattvik nature anymore..I just feel we change and adapt over time to handle situations thats all.
Dear Renuka,
There is no necessity to sell the term sattvic. It is nothing but in scientific terms a set of traits that one should have to fall in to a personality type. We do find such people in real life and I call such people sattvic. As you say some indeed learn to adapt to the situations but that is a different case.
And don't feel so cosy in blurting out the words in sanskrit. You never know who knows what
