How do I get rid of jealousy?

Do you know what gives rise to jealousy? Our inner feeling that we have less!

From this very feeling crops negativity. The law of Nature is such that each one gets what one is destined to; we get what we deserve and the other person gets what s/he deserves. And destiny can never be changed; then of what use is jealousy?

Yet to do better in life, we tend, knowingly or unknowingly, to compare ourselves with others and end up feeling negative about them. So, first thing, come out of this comparison and competition. That’s one of the worst things to do, as we lose all our energy while doing that.

Imagine we are driving our car on a highway. We tend to compete with the neighbouring car on the highway, not realizing that so many cars have gone ahead of me during the day and so many are going to come after mine. So, why should I compare with others and compete with them?

We don’t want to compare ourselves with anyone. Rather, slowly and steadily, we want to progress on our path according to our capacity. If others are moving fast, let them do, that’s their capacity, and we move as per ours. Consequently, the outcome shall be such that everyone progresses without any jealousy. Isn’t that wonderful?!

Noble-minded people never get jealous. One who is narrow-minded cannot see others’ good; they are unable to accept any good of others, and thus, they end up having jealousy. But if we persevere to broaden our mind and become noble, then with nobility, virtues of very high order get developed within us and our relationships with people also become harmonious.

So check: with whom and in what matter are we jealous? Then pray for them, “What you have received is right. May you receive a lot more of this!”, and be happy! When we think ill of others, “May he fall so that I can be ahead of him”, we ourselves fall, and we lag far behind. We must remember that jealousy always takes us downward only.

Thus, it’s in our own interest to get rid of jealousy. And to get rid of jealousy:

1. Speak positively.
2. Appreciate the positives of the other person.
3. Pray.

By doing so, the obstacles on our path get removed, and then, we too can proceed ahead.

When you speak positively of the other person and genuinely praise him/ her, your negativity dissolves automatically, any sort of comparison and competition dissolve too, and eventually, jealousy also dissolves for good. Moreover, the other person’s good quality develops within you automatically. Therefore, don’t keep jealousy for anyone; rather, speak positively.

When someone’s doing great and we see that their progress or success is really good, rather than being jealous, and thus, seeing the negative of that person, we will appreciate them with all our heart, “Oh, his understanding power is so good. He is putting in such good efforts; his efforts have brought such good results. He is doing it so nicely. Very good!”. Whatever we appreciate, that quality develops within us automatically.

And we shall pray, “May this person who does good, do a lot more good; I am very happy seeing his/her achievements. Dear God, I want to put in my best efforts and improve my result. Please grant me strength for the same.”

Last but not least, watch this; I am sure you’ll really love it! And you won’t even realize how easily you learnt how to get rid of jealousy. Goodluck!!
