How to conquer Jealousy?!

Our true nature is sheer happiness, joy and total bliss :) Felt nice to know that?!
Its only on the surface level that we experience negative emotions like jealousy, hatred, anger, guilt, and lust. So the question ringing in your mind would be how to dig deeper and how to get free of all these not so feel good emotions!

Let us talk about one emotion at a time :)

Hmm...How many of us feel that emotion called 'jealousy' on seeing our competitors doing really well in their respective fields? How many of us after seeing a movie are really jealous of the main protagonist in the movie? Let me make an honest confession, i am! And how do i feel when i am jealous, bad really bad! I just want to get rid of it immediately, and here comes Sri Sri's knowledge to the rescue :)

He gives the following means to conquer it :

Know that person of whom you are jealous has done some good deeds in the past and is now reaping the fruit.

See jealousy as an inspiration to gain merit for yourself.

Create a sense of belongingness with those of whom you are envious. See them as a part of you.

Think of all you have that they do not have and feel grateful.

Simply observe the sensations (You get some tingling sensations on your navel region)

Join hands and form a team with them (Ha! you will also come in the limelight)

Realize that in the current of moving time all will perish - your envy along with who you envy! :)

Jai Gurudev!
Siddharth

ps Guys, good ideas are just not to be heard/read but they are to be IMPLEMENTED!
