Unaccountable Hatred Is of Manas

When one becomes angry, the mind continuously attempts to control the emotion. Despite the consciousness exerting control for an hour, the mind-root remains unsubdued, which shows that the mind-root is indeed difficult to regulate. Often, after anger arises, one does not even know why it arose; being angry without understanding the reason indicates that this is not the anger of the consciousness itself, for the consciousness's anger can identify causes and reasons. The mind-root's anger, however, is incomprehensible to the consciousness. The consciousness perceives this anger as causeless, deeming it inexplicable without understanding why. In truth, the consciousness cannot discern the causes of the mind-root's anger; it cannot accurately grasp the psychological state of the mind-root and remains ignorant of it. All emotional states of the mind-root are considered baffling and irrational by the consciousness. Only when the consciousness gives rise to great wisdom and comprehends the nature of the mind-root can it grasp the psychological state of the mind-root and subdue its afflictions.
