Dear Sikh of the Guru,
Many healers teach us that we heal ourselves from within and the Guru's message is the same. When we chant the last Slok in Japji Sahib our faces become radiant. I also had a problem with acne in the past, and contrary to the way you phrased your question, we recite daily in the Mul Mantra of Japji Sahib the Creator of all is without anger or hatred. But I find it interesting that you asked the question "is God angry?" because many healers also teach us that skin eruptions of any kind are the result of anger - our own inner anger that we may have buried deep within ourselves, and it erupts in skin rashes or acne or other kinds of skin problems. We can heal ourselves by rising early in the morning, and following a nice cold shower which invigorates the circulation and promotes healthy skin, sit still in meditation and breathe long and deep, in rhythym. Meditate on the Mul Mantra. You shall replace anger with forgiveness of yourself and others, and your face will radiate the Guru's light of peace and understanding. As you meditate, envision an image of yourself in your mind's eye as bright and beautiful, already fully healed. God bless you. Sat Nam. -GMK
