Guard Against Egotism and Envy
Yoga and Total Health
|April 2024
How to keep undesirable qualities at bay
There are two undesirable qualities that lead to manifesting a spirit of competition. One is egotism. An egotistical person is proud and selfish. Another is envy, which is the religion of the mediocre. It comforts them, soothes their worries, and finally, rots their souls, allowing them to justify their meanness and greed until they believe these to be virtues. Not only does an envious person want what another person has, but also wants to deprive others of what they have. Really, envy is a form of hatred.

भगवद्गीता से सीख: असली जीवन ही श्रेष्ठ है।
हमारी देश की संस्कृति में अनेक गुणों का, जीवन मूल्यों का वर्णन किया गया है जिनसे हम एक अच्छा, सच्चा और कुशल जीवन व्यतीत कर सकते हैं। इनका पालन करने के अनेक मार्ग भी हमारे सामने रखे गए हैं। और कई लोग ऐसे होते भी हैं जो पूरे मन से इन मूल्यों को मानते हैं। लेकिन कुछ लोग ऐसे भी होते हैं जो इन मूल्यों को दिल से मानने की जगह बस मानने का दिखावा कर रहे होते हैं। आइए देखते हैं कि ऐसे दिखावटी व्यवहार के बारे में श्रीकृष्ण क्या कहते हैं।
