Humanity can rise to Divinity through sense control. When you get angry, remind yourself that anger is not a human quality; it is an animal quality. Anger is the quality of a dog. When you are angry, tell yourself, "I am not a dog, I am a man." Similarly when your mind wavers, tell yourself repeatedly, "I am not a monkey, I am a man." Sathya, Dharma, Santhi, Prema and Ahimsa (Truth, Righteousness, Peace, Love and Non-violence) are the true human values. Losing any one of these values amounts to losing one's life principle itself.
(From : Sai Veda, The Word of God, sayings of Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba)
