[Ms. Bhanu Samykya asked: Swāmi, I feel jealous when I read any good devotee stories instead of feeling motivated. I'm unable to understand that there is only one God for all souls. I'll fall into comparison instantly. Please help me to overcome this state.]
Swāmi Replied:- Jealousy has positive face by which the devotee can improve himself/herself by seeing better devotees. Jealousy is a very strong force that can be diverted into development of the soul. Jealousy itself motivates and develops the progress. You need not remove jealousy, which is impossible. You have to simply divert it towards the line of progress of the soul.
