Yagyavalkya Upanishad 29: Verse 29
अपकारिणि कोपश्चेत् कोपे कोपः कथं न ते । धर्मार्थकाममोक्षाणां प्रसह्य परिपन्थिनि ॥२९॥
अप-कारिणि । कोपः । चेत् । कोपे । कोपः । कथम् । न । ते । धर्म-अर्थ-काम-मोक्षाणाम् । प्रसह्य । परि-पन्थिनि ॥२९॥
apakāriṇi kopaś cet kope kopaḥ kathaṃ na te | dharmārthakāmamokṣāṇāṃ prasahya paripanthini ||29||
अगर तुम उस पे गुस्सा करते हो जो तुम्हारा बुरा करता है, तो गुस्से पे भी गुस्सा क्यों नहीं करते? गुस्से से तो धरम, अर्थ, काम, मोक्ष सब रास्ते में आ जाते हैं।
If there is anger toward one who does harm, how would there not be anger toward anger itself—(anger) which forcibly obstructs dharma, artha, kāma, and mokṣa?
