Shrimad shows a very practical approach to overcome these undesirable passions: By always being vigilant for the feelings of Anger, by being very bumble, by developing the habit of becoming a neutral observer in daily life and by constantly curtailing the desire for worldly possesions as well as the desire for the respect and adoration of others.
