| You must learn to be  happy and filled with joy when others are acclaimed as good and are respected  for their virtues and the ideals they hold dear. You must cultivate broad  outlook and purity of motives, and also must be ever vigilant such that the demon of envy  does not possess you. This demon of jealousy  is certain to destroy all that is  precious within you. It will even ruin your health and damage your digestive  system. It will rob you your  sleep and  sap your physical and mental stamina, ultimately reducing  you to the state of chronic illness.  Hence, if someone is praised and you desire it, you must resolve to  emulate those who do better than you and earn equal appreciation. You must  strive to acquire knowledge, skills and experience as much as others. That is  the proper ambition you must have. -            Vidya Vahini, Chap 17. |  |
