Gadhada Last Section Vach. 34 Vachanamrut Rahasyarth Pradeepika Tika

Shuk Muni asked Shreejimaharaj a question, “Oh Maharaj! It seems that anger arises in someone if someone else comes in the way of him experiencing an object with which he has an intense bond. When a yearning i.e. intense desire, is not fulfilled, it is transformed into anger. That person had developed a particular nature as a result of which, anger arises within him. Is there any way for anger to not arise, even under these circumstances?” Shreejimaharaj replied, “By the command of God or, having understood the greatness of God through the scriptures, by his own will, a Mota-sadhu (Mota-purush) may have made an auspicious resolution within his mind to keep innumerable souls within the disciplines of the religious decree and encourage them to follow the path of God. He remains proactive about this. Then, if any soul transgresses the religious disciplines and   behaves irreligiously, anger arises in that Mota-purush (Sat-purush) towards that soul. This is because that soul has violated the auspicious resolution that he has made. Therefore, in order to teach that soul how to remain in accordance with the religious disciplines, the Mota-sadhu becomes angry. If he does not reprimand that soul, that individual will continue to transgress the disciplines and will never attain betterment. It is appropriate for anger to occur in such instances; there is no objection to that. This is because the Mota-sadhu is dedicated to this path and thousands of people have taken his patronage. How could he not become angry with them on some occasions?
