“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”.
