Anger Can Lead to Withdrawing Speech

“If I sometimes do something against his desire, out of anger he will not talk to Me for three days.

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta Madhya 7.22, translation

What the purport teaches

  • The Lord says that He sometimes acts against the other person’s desire.
  • The response He describes is anger.
  • That anger leads the person to stop speaking to Him for three days.

Try this today

If a small disagreement arises today, express your concern calmly rather than refusing to speak.

Ask yourself

Do I withdraw communication when someone does not follow my wishes?

Carry the question through the day, then answer it in your own words before sleep.
