Guard Against Egotism and Envy

How to keep undesirable qualities at bay

- C.K Subramaniam

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.
