How to conquer jealousy or envy

⚫️Know that the person that you are jealous or envious of has done some good karma in the past and they are now reaping the fruit.

⚫️Take it as an inspiration to gain merit now.

⚫️Create a sense of belongingness with them. See that they are a part of you.

⚫️Think of all you have that they don't have and feel grateful.

⚫️Ananda says, "Observe the sensations."

⚫️Join hands and form a team with them.

⚫️Realise that in the current of moving time all will perish.

⚫️Think of everyone that is jealous of you for what you have.

Stephano added: "And see that all that people envy you for has not brought joy anyway."

Stephano: "Go and ask them 'are you happy?' " Caroline: "And what if they say 'Yes?' " (Laughter!). If the answer is "yes" then they must be in the Art of Living (Laughter!) "What to do if others are jealous or envious of you?" Ananda: "What to do if others are jealous or envious of you?"

⚫️Praise them in superlatives.

⚫️Create a sense of belongingness in them by your kind actions.

⚫️Know that their feelings are temporary.

⚫️The best is not to recognise their envy or jealousy at all. If you recognise a feeling as a reality it only makes your ignorance grow.

⚫️Know all feelings and emotions are just like passing clouds.

⚫️Do not show off your talents to them.

⚫️Know that they are puppets. They will all perish like apples and tomatoes - just a longer shelf-life (Laughter!).

If nothing else works just go to sleep (Shirley: "And don't forget to take a pillow").
