Control of the mind is of utmost importance.  When we are not in control of our minds, our ego controls it for us.  This can lead to anxiety, worry, depression, anger and a number of negative emotions.

Be ever mindful that when we experience negative emotions, the emotion is rooted in our attachments.  Anger and other negative emotions are simply reactions.  At their root is attachment.  When we observe ourselves experiencing a negative emotion, take some time for introspection to identify the attachment that caused the reaction.  This awareness allows us the opportunity to uproot the attachment and experience the situation when it recurs in peace and tranquility.  Sa Ra
