Transcending gives a human being a chance to think before acting. And experiencing this beautiful treasury within gets rid of torment and replaces it with happiness, inner peace, creativity intelligence, love, energy. This fuels a real good life and fuels an appreciation for all human beings. It's so powerful and it's a blessing for humanity.

In my case what happened is that within about two weeks of beginning meditation, the anger already started to go away.

I didn't even realize that my anger had been going away.
