if my memory serves, Maharishi talks about anger as being a destructive force, the great destroyer. He says it flames up when two forces are in opposition to one another. Sounds natural enough. I don't detect anything unnatural or 'unenlightened' about using that force appropriately. Perhaps it is expressed in the Gita as an instruction to Arjuna to not use it as an instrument of the ignorant mind?
