God appears to be angry at times. But, that is not real anger. In order to put 
the devotees on the right path, He pretends to be angry. If He does not pretend 
so, there is no chance for the devotees to change their behaviour. His 
pretending to be angry is just a drama. God has no trace of anger in Him. When 
we commit mistakes or tread the wrong path, we are afraid that God will be 
angry with us. 

But, God only pretends to be angry on such occasions so that you become aware 
of your own faults and deficiencies. For example, when Swami keeps Himself away 
from you, you feel very sad and think that Swami is not talking to you because 
He is angry with you. In fact, Swami does not know what anger is. He is the 
embodiment of love. He is full of love. However, on some rare occasions when He 
speaks harshly, it might be misconstrued that He is angry
