📝 #Lesson | Technique for Overcoming Envy (Jealousy)
🔹There are some undesirable qualities within us that are difficult to eliminate. But each time we emerge victorious over them, the next victory becomes easier for us. We learn to confront our ego. Envy can affect both you and me. All of us possess a certain level of envy. Envy is a very frightening quality! Satan was envious; Shimr was envious; those who stood in front of the Ahlul Bayt (peace be upon them) were envious.
🔸Sometime you envy someone insignificant like me, and that doesn't matter much, ultimately a calamity may befall you. But there may be a time when you envy someone dear and loved by God,. That could have dire consequences! May God show mercy upon you! It is as if you are a negative number, manipulated into the positive number of that person. For example, if you envy someone whose rate is 10, your rate become -10. There may be a time when you envy Imam Hussain (PBUH), you become negative Imam Hussain; you become Shimr!
🔹Now we want to combat this envy. How to eliminate it? To combat envy, we must show respect to the person we envy. By doing so, we feel discomfort and burn from inside, but our Ego gets trained and fixed. After some time, that quality will be like a wet clay that is loose and can be washed away. Ultimately, you reach a point where you see that the envy in you has almost disappeared entirely.
