...Jealousy

And,
Before going to heal negativity called jealousy, let’s get to understand its symptoms? Few common give aways are:
a. I can never be happy in others happiness, achievements, purchases etc. whenever, I hear good news in other’s life, it turns me down. I feel “but, I have always wanted it this way and I am not getting it. Why this injustice is meted on me always?”
b. Whenever I hear that person ‘A’ has given gift to person ‘B’ I feel miserable. I feel –
i. Why person ‘A’ didn’t gift me?
ii. Why don’t I have a relative / friend like person ‘A’ in my life to gift such expensive gifts to me?
iii. If person ‘A’ gifted this to ‘B’ that means ‘A’ is earning a lot. How come I don’t get to earn this much?

Such thoughts and more which call for suffering and pain. In a transaction between A and B, where is the need for me to suffer?

On the contrary any person filled with love and gratitude would feel as follows in the similar situation –
A. It reminds me- even I need to gift x, y, z like-wise in my life
B. What a good relation these both share
C. What a generous person is ‘A’ etc., etc…..

To overcome this negativity is the most easiest of all vikaras! All that one needs to do is concentrate and work on one’s own progress. Never compare your success, achievements, possessions with that of others.

Only person who is worth competing in the entire world is “yourself”. So, compete only with self and resolve to update and upgrade yourself every day of your life.

As simple as it sounds, people don’t want to drop it. But, just for three months time drop it and experience the freedom, peace and happiness within. (satisfaction guaranteed!) else you can always go back to your old suffering self.

Sadhan technique to do it is simply – DO IT!
Each one of you has ‘Will power’. Now, go ahead and prove that you have ‘Won’t power’ too. ‘Won’t Power' is
· I won’t experience jealousy from today. As it makes me feel lousy. (lousy is in jealousy)
· I won’t be jealous of my friends and near and dear ones’ success, achievements and possessions.
· I won’t be unhappy in others happiness.

Simple, right?
So, what are you waiting for? Go ahead and experience the empowerment that comes in dropping this negativity from you. Why? Because, it is only harming you all the way. It is also harming every person close to you. You are digging your own grave. It is no sensible thing to do. No intelligent person would ever do it. And I am sure no one out there is a fool. So.

May we see the sensibility in outgrowing this addiction from our life NOW than later………..
