JEALOUSY
"I have given up jealousy, ever since I associated with the company of saints."
Guru Arjun Dev Ji 1563-1606
Jealousy can eat away at you. It is difficult not to feel jealous about another's fortune. If you feel jealousy creeping into your mind, then try to think of someone good, peaceful and content and think of how they would deal with this feeling. Be happy for the fortunes of others as your time of good fortune will eventually come.
Jealousy has conquered many in this day and age, if not most as we always want to be better off than the next person. We want bigger and better houses, better cars, a more luxurious life style, our kids to do better than the next persons and most of all we want our functions to always stand out more than the next persons.
All this jealousy and WANTING only piles on pressure and stress, which is a killer. We will never be happy and content and there will always be someone better off than us.
There is only one cure, it will never diminish and always be a cut above everything else. The same one cure is repeated and mentioned in all these posts.
We are blessed to be Sikhs, we need to accept the blessed Amrit (holy nectar), keep rehit (code of conduct), remain in sangat (like minded spiritual people) and most of all find peace love and contentment through naam meditation, given to us at the Amrit Sanchaar ceremony.
Vaheguroo!
