Envy destroy ourselves more than destroying others

There is a saying, If you want to destroy yourself completely, be envious towards others. The person who has envy towards others will never live his life peacefully.

The main reason behind be become envious towards others is, when other person get something and I may not be able to get that things.

But being envious we not only become restless and make our life miserable but we also makes others life miserable too.

When Prajapati Daksha became envious towards Lord Shiva, he organised a big sacrifice but did not invited Lord Shiva due to envy. But Lord Shiva did not felt anything but Mother Sati felt very much insult to Lord Shiva and she jumped into sacrificial fire.

After hearing this Lord Shiva sent to Virbhadra and told to destroy sacrifice and cut Daksha's head. When Lord Shiva pacified by Lord Brahma he gave Daksha a head of Goat.

But the moral of the story is Envy destroy us more than others. We only experience the pain and harming more to us than to other person.

What is the check point whether I am envious or not and how we can be envy free?

1. Being non envious of other people If another person is successful we should be never be envious

2. We should act as well wishers of the success people

3. To establishment a competition less society with God in center and think every one is child of God

We can be envy free when we think, when Krishna is not giving me something then Krishna has plan behind it may be I don't deserve it or may be He has another plan for me. Not everything every person get in his life.

If Lord Krishna is my well wishers and others well wishers then why should I be envious of other person.

It is mentioned in Srimad Bhagwatam, if we hear glories of Lord Rama Chandra we become envy free. As we see from Lord Rama's pastimes He never shown envy towards others even towards Ravana although he was His biggest enemy. So if we hear and pray to Lord Rama we can free our-self from envy.

Please feel free to share your feedback/comments.


Hare Krishna.

Learning Lessons from Mother Sumitra

In this world mother and child relationship is above all the relations. The foremost responsibility of a mother is to place her child in a proper Krishna Consciousness environment by which he/she becomes pure devotee of the Lord. Often mothers blame for their children, they are not behaving well and they don't respect them at all but the reason behind this is how much we are doing for them. Being a parent means to sacrifice for children. In modern age mother has no time to care of her children and think they can give all kinds of facilities by just giving money. And when the child grows up and by the time he/she do not get the association of mother and teachings they become free to do what they want to do. Mother means to care for her children what they need and give love and teach them how to love and respect others. And if we think we just send our children to schools/colleges and they will be perfect in all so they cannot. Its the duty of the mother to give valuable time ...

TIT for TAT OR Tolerate That

Many of the times we go through situations where we get confused what to do now? According to our Vedic Scriptures we should keep three things in our mind and accordingly react or respond on situations. If you can change it: Situations comes in your life or brought by some people and you know if it is completely against our religious principle, then you must stand against it and try to change the situations. When Hauman Ji reached in Lanka and Lankini the guard of Lanka tried to stop Him and because it was against the religious principle as his own master kidnapped others wife, Hanuman Ji punched on her mouth by His left hand and move on. Same way if you have power and know things are going against Dharma, you should change the situations else you have to suffer sinful reactions of it. If you can not change it: Sometimes situations are completely against us and we are not even able to change it then that time we must accept the situation and try to tolerate it.  You don't believe...
