Dear Bhai,
It is true that you should not let the feeling of sadness or happiness touch your mind. But it needs to be done with clear understanding of mind. You should make a mindful effort to cover both sides of this issue. By the grace of God, this training of making repeated efforts in this direction, springs the state of equanimity. Always keep in mind to maintain the balance of mind at every moment in your work. You must also attempt to remove the natural tendencies of mind like uneasiness, hurry, confusion, disorder, dumbfound, restlessness and impatience. These tendencies tend to get hold of mind and you must make an effort to remove it. It is good that you experience, understand and are aware of these tendencies. Constant practice and effort is the mainstay and if you keep this in mind, these tendencies can be controlled.
