6.3 How do I overcome envy of other people’s achievements?
Remember that knowledge is valued
as holy and will fail only onto clean, sincere heart. Envy is something that
will burn all your good deeds just like fire burning the dry leaf (hadith). Why
should you feel envious of onyone when everyone is created special in his or
her own way?. You may feel that the person whom you feel jealous of is superior
to you and may have everything that you do not have, but you may not know what
the person’s perspective of himself or of yourself.
Helpful attitude :
# Help others to receive help
from God
# Do things to the best of
ability
# Respect others to gain respect
# See good in others
# Be generous : Money, Love &
Advise
Life is a cycle with ups and
downs and everybody will have their highs and lows at some point in their
lives. Just clear yourself of all these negative inner feelings as they are
counter-productive. They make you a very unpleasant person and this will be
reflected on your face. You will find then that you have less friends and of
course, fewer blessings from God.
I have seen many people with such
negative feelings who do not do well in life and God has His way of showing His
punishment for them. Id does not pay to have any grudge against anybody. As I
have said, knowledge only falls onto a clean heart and you have to continuously
cleanse your heart by ‘zikir’ for the Muslims and some means of spiritual
enhancement for other religions. Take it as a challenge or inspiration to do
better. A healthy competition is always good.
Someone
with shoes size of 6 should not feel envious of someone with shoes size of 8.
