Guest guest Posted December 18, 2004 Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 Among the six Vikaras; Jealousy is the easiest to conquer In this Vikara, there is no question of (actual) gain or loss, to ourselves, Jealousy (Matsara) is the inability to endure another's profit and prosperity. If another gets fortune or power, we can not put with it, we scandalise him. When he meets with loss, we, rejoice. But is this good ? When that man attains prosperity, what loss have we really suffered ? But people do not consider this point of view. If he attains good let us rejoice (with him) (or let us consider ourselves also as lucky or benefitted); or let us attain or strive to attain equal good. That should be our desire and determination. What has he taken away of ours ? Nothing. He received the prosperity that is the result of His Karma. How then should we feel aggreived at it ? So, Nana, conquer jealousy first. --Shirdi Sai Baba Arun Reddy Nukala +44 (0) 79 1629 6119 http://groups.msn.com/ Win a castle for NYE with your mates and Messenger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
