anger (FS)

Holy ANGER is a movement of concentration and not a going outside oneself; it is like an “incarnation” of the divine Wrath in the human microcosm, which must at that moment be free from passionate ANGER. The inner criterion of holy ANGER is precisely calmness, whereas passionate ANGER carries away the entire being and brings forgetfulness of God; it has no centre, that is to say it is entirely peripheral and dissipated. Holy ANGER exists only by virtue of a motionless centre, an implacable truth which determines it; when driving the money-chANGERs from the Temple, Christ was impassible.
