Greetings Yogis and Yoginis,
This week in class we are considering the topic “Overcoming Jealousy”.
To overcome jealousy, try to adopt a more advanced philosophical perspective. Begin to see yourself as a cosmic being, not as an individual, and all personalities as manifestations of the same Self.
Learn to see every human being as you would see your child or another near and dear relative. As such, they are all deserving of great joy. The happiness of all beings is yours. The world is your family, your own limb, your own Self. In the vast treasury of bliss that your inner Self enjoys, there is an abundance for all, and more is eternally forthcoming.
- Swami Jyotirmayananda
The reflection from the quote is to notice the next time the feeling of jealousy comes up and evaluate it in the light of every person deserving great joy. Consider what mental work has to be done to turn your jealousy into joy for this person.
Blessings,
paul cheek
