Hare Krishna,

There is an individual in my life who has the potential to disturb my peace of mind. I have always prayed to Krishna to give me the strength to tolerate the presence of that Individual. However, I gradually realized that it is very difficult for me to remain unaffected by the individual. Hence, I now make an effort to completely avoid coming in contact with that individual such that my peace of mind is not disturbed and I do not get into any unnecessary quarrels. By avoiding, I know that I am offending the individual. But I am doing this bcos if I continue to remain in contact, i  might not be able to control my emotions and may react harshly. Pls advice whether my approach is acceptable considering that I am not yet as advanced spiritually to be able to have absolute control over my emotions.
