Are We the Master of Our Self?

Controlling lesser aspects of life

- Geetu Kalani

Self-mastery should mean a state when lesser aspects of life do not control us." Dr. Jayadeva Yogendra, Editorial, Yoga and Total Heath, October 1995.

This editorial is very profound and very insightful. It sums up our endeavors in the direction of Chitta Vritti Nirodha - complete control of one’s personality at will.

We all approach a system for learning to grow especially for self-development because we want to overcome difficulties or seek solace in situations beyond our control or even understand the difficulties which we need to endure.
