People develop variety of mental and emotional moods at various times. For this reason you should not loose mental balance if someone behaves in a manner that you dislike or disapprove. Instead of being provoked and instigated at this time, you should remember the positive qualities of this person and appreciate best aspects of his or her life. Alternatively you can completely immerse yourself into naam-smaran at that very moment. In short you should have understanding and awareness that your mind is not disturbed by someone else's behavior towards you.
It is pollution of your mind if someone else's whims and inclination touches and affects your mind and it is true that you must cleanse your mind of this pollutants. This internal cleansing of the mind is not possible or sustainable unless you are constantly alert and aware. You should do heartfelt prayer to God for granting this awareness.
