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 dark age, if not most, as we always want to be better off than the next person. We desire 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 the 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 it will always be above everything else. The same one cure is repeated and mentioned in all the previous 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.
Guru Arjun Dev Ji Says, "Laahi paradhaa t(h)aakur jo bhaettiou tho bisaree thaath paraaee."
I threw off the veil of illusion, when I met my Lord and Master; then, I forgot my jealousy of others.
This is a wonder which cannot be described. They alone know it, who have tasted it.
Says Nanak, the Truth has been revealed to me. The Guru has given me the treasure; I have taken it and enshrined it within my heart.
Vaheguroo!
