The Divine Presence does not rest on a person who has a tendency toward anger. Hashem said to Eliyahu Hanavi, “What are you doing here, Eliyahu?”—Why do you deserve to exist in this world if you are angry at the Jewish people and you are accusing them in your anger? Eliyahu answered that he wasn’t angry for his own honor, but for Hashem’s honor. Hashem hinted to him, “Hashem is not found in the wind; Hashem is not found in fire”—you will not be holy with the attribute of anger, but rather with a ‘small, still voice.’” (Aggadas Eliyahu, 1, 53; Me’am Lo’ez, Avos 244)
