"Be angry, but do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger."
-Ephesians 4:26
For Reflection:
Scientific research proves the wisdom of this passage. The psychological effects of lack of forgiveness and pent-up anger causes real physical problems. To what extent have I seen or experienced this reality? What positive steps can I take today to rid myself of this anger?

Chapter One Page 7-8 Speaking of the Hindu mystic, Sankara, Bouyer notes that "whatever the personalist expressions that Sankara used, he tended toward nothing other, in the final analysis, than an absorption or a reabsorption of himself in a great whole that was no one...and in spite of the images of fusion, or loss of self, or extinction of the "I". People who confuse the mysticism of Paul, Augustine, the Gregorys, Teresa and John with what oriental writers discuss have only a surface-level grasp of their subject.
