Acharya ji says theres no need to control these attributes of life, simply because these cannot be controlled and do not even try to control. There have been lots of efforts to control but have often resulted in failure. Many yogis, tapasvee, sadhus have failed, how could you control it.
You will have to approach it from different angle, say if you want to control anger, do not force it to control just say I will not get angry on small things, I will get angry only on bigger matter. This will be your primary step. You cannot do anything directly to anger to control. Aim higher how fruitful will it be to get angry on small things, shift your status. Same with the jealousy, who are you getting jealous with. If you compare yourself with almost similar person, where are you getting yourself. What will you gain even if you surpass him. Aim higher again, say you will compare yourself with those one that have gained everything in life , where do I stand before them. Even if you cannot meet him in person, read his literature, understand him, picture his photo on your room. That will remind you of your path to achievement, it will encourage you of getting maximum of what can be achieved in life, what people have achieved. This way even if you fail, you will have satisfaction that you failed before most highly admired person. this will not create guilt even on your failure. What jealousy brings, it brings pain and guilt when you cannot meet the target of comparison. When you compare yourself with those person that have gained every thing in life and walk their path to gain what they have already achieved, you will never have to suffer from jealousy.
