Mukti· LiberationRemembering the Lord Removes Envy
“For him who constantly meditates upon My presence within all persons, the bad tendencies of rivalry, envy and abusiveness, along with false ego, are very quickly destroyed.”
What the purport teaches
- Conditioned souls tend to feel rivalry toward equals, envy toward superiors and a desire to belittle subordinates.
- These contaminated tendencies have their basis in false ego.
- Constant meditation on the Supreme Personality of Godhead within every living being can quickly remove these tendencies and false ego.
Try this today

Ask yourself
Which tendency do I notice most in myself: rivalry, envy or belittling others?
Carry the question through the day, then answer it in your own words before sleep.
