Types of Internal Causes 1. Rise of Karma One cause for anger is the rise of Karma. It can be called non-cause because it comes without any outside reason. In Agama it is called the self-established anger . Sudden anger is an example of this. 2. Acidity All aggression is due to it.

Meditation plays a very big role in controlling anger. While the effect of scientific instruments and medicines remains at the level of brain only, the effect of Dhyan is on the body as well as on the vibrations of mental habits. Therefore, it provides a permanent solution. It is not easy for everyone. But Acharya Mahaprajna says that at least the person should be able to control his anger. Strategy of Controlling Anger 1.
