Nana Saheb Pride of Learning

Baba put down Nana’s

pride of learning in Sanskrit especially about Gita Bashya

-

Baba to Nana:

Among the six Viharas; Jealousy is the easiest to

conquer. In this Vihara, 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 cannot put up with it, we scandalise

him. ? When he meets with loss, we rejoice. But is it 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

benefited); 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 Karmas. How then should we

feel aggrieved at it? So, Nana, conquer jealousy first.
