Envy Kill us

Long-long ago there was a great demon king known as Hirnya Kashyapu. He was so powerful and cruel to good people. But fortunately he had a good son Prahlad, he loved his son very much, When Prahlad grown up, he send him school to learn politics, democracy and diplomacy from his teachers Shand and Amarak (sons of  Great Demon Guru Shukracharya).

But Prahald was opposite of it and he was more into humility and believe in every living entities are part and parcel of Krishna so we should be equal to all.

After break time of his school, he used to teach his friends not to be envious from any one. Because, we all should be kind with each other this way we can form a Godfull society and then God also love to all of us.

After few days Hirnyakashyapu called his son and asked him, “My dear son, what all things you learn from your teacher.” Prahlad replied, “My dear father we all are son of Krishna so we should behave equal and not to be envious with anyone, nobody is our enemies everyone is our friends.”

On listening this Hirnyakashyapu got angry and shouted on Prahlad, “We are demons we must be envious from Demigods and Vishnu, go and learn again.

And finally when prahlad refused to learn this, He tried to kill Prahlad but to more affection with Lord Vishnu and his pure devotional service.

Lord Vishnu took incarnation of Half man and half lion to kill Hirnyakashpu.

So moral of the story is, we should never be envious from anyone otherwise we only harm our self.

In Bhagwad Gita Chapter 16.19, result of envy;

तानहं द्विषत: क्रूरान्संसारेषु नराधमान् ।

क्षिपाम्यजस्रमश‍ुभानासुरीष्वेव योनिषु ॥ १९ ॥

Those who are envious and mischievous, who are the lowest among men, I perpetually cast into the ocean of material existence, into various demoniac species of life.
