Socratic self-inquiry applied to rage: interrogating the beliefs and wounds that generate our deepest anger.
Mirabai's poetry repeatedly turns inward, questioning her own attachments, her shame, her compliance with false gods. The examined heart does not accept anger as a fact of existence; it asks: What am I defending? What authority have I internalized that I secretly resent? By examining the heart's rebellion rather than acting from it, we create space between impulse and response. Mirabai's rage at her husband's cruelty and her family's control became philosophical; she questioned whether her true marriage was to Krishna alone. This practice asks: What assumptions about love, duty, or identity is my anger protecting?
