On envy, part 1

On envy, part 1, by Haripada dasa
God or Krishna says in Bhagavad gita, 7, 27 that Oh, scion of Bharata !, O conqueror of the enemy, all living entities are born in the bosom of illusion, confused by the dualities that arise from desire and the envy. And Srila Prabhupada says in the meaning that because of desire and hatred, the ignorant person wants to become one with the Supreme Lord, and envies Krishna as the Supreme Personality of Godhead. In the book of Bhaktivinoda Thakura entitled Jaiva Dharma it is said that we are an energy of God or Krishna called marginal, this means that we have two tendencies, the original, natural and eternal tendency is that we are with God or Krishna and His devotees in the spiritual world, and those souls never fall into the material world, and the other artificial and temporary tendency is that we want to enjoy matter and live without God or Krishna and His devotees, in that book it is explained that we have a vision of what is the spiritual world and the material world, most souls 90 percent go with God or Krishna and His devotees to the spiritual world and only 10 percent to see the spiritual world and see that God or Krishna has so many opulences, they He grasps envy and they want to live in the material world and they do not want to know anything about God or Krishna.
I share this very interesting information that comes in the book of Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, there Srila Prabhupada says that the serpent is considered the most cruel and envious living entity that exists, but those who are human beings and who envy others are considered to be even more vicious than snakes. The snake can be subjugated or controlled by herbs and enchanting mantras, but no one can control an envious person. In relation to the subject it is very interesting what Srila Prabhupada says in Chaitanya Charitamrita, Madhya Lila, Chapter 19, 159 there says that Jiva Himsana refers to killing animals or envying other living entities, if we kill defenseless animals, we should not There is doubt about that, the envy we feel for those animals. Now we are going to give the solution to eliminate this envy. I'm going to give a very simple example, I have a neighbor and I envy him a lot, the remedy is to make a change in my conscience, instead of envy I start to appreciate it, look at my neighbor always has the garden very fixed and I always have it dirty , my neighbor always has the car clean and I dirty, etc. So the cause of envy is that we envy God or Krishna, then the solution is to be 24 hours glorifying their unlimited names, forms, qualities and pastimes, in that way naturally the latent love we have for God will awaken. Srila Prabhupada always said that if you are full of hate and envy that means you are in the material world, and if you are free from envy, that means you are in the spiritual world.
Thought to meditate:
"The most valuable thing in life is to relate to the devotees of God or Krishna, this relationship is based on love and trust."
