Man kay jeetay jeet hai - Mastery over the Mind

We, humans, are emotional beings by nature. 
Most of the times, we are controlled by our emotions.
Emotions need energy from our consciousness to sustain. 
However, the energy which is not controlled and regulated by the consciousness confuses and upsets the mind. 
We become unhappy and disturbed.
The ancient Hindu scriptures provide a scientific, psychological solution to solve this problem. 
It is called 'Saakshi-Bhaav - The Witness or the detached observation - meaning watching our emotions objectively, as an observer or bystander. If we observe our anger, it dies. When we witness emotions, they vanish. 
But if we don't detach from them, they become our master - we become slaves and suffer. 
So the solution is to detach from the inner storms - to stand back and observe them pass. 
It is not about killing the mind and becoming emotionless. 
It's about becoming - not a slave but the master of our mind. 
                                'Man kay jeetay jeet hai'
Those who have mastery over their mind are the real victorious.
                           ' Rajan Sachdeva '
