2.     Jealousy is the root of all evil, and a most difficult thing to conquer.

3.     From all of you I want this that you must discard for ever self-aggrandisement, faction-mongering, and jealousy. You must be all-forbearing like Mother Earth. If you can achieve this, the world will be at your feet.

4.     If you project hatred and jealousy they will rebound on you with compound interest. No power can avert them; when once you have put them in motion, you will have to bear them. Remembering this will prevent you from doing wicked things.

14.  Can there be jealousy where there is nothing to be jealous of?

15.  Be steady. Avoid jealousy and selfishness.

Ego

1.     Give up all self, as egotism; get out of anger, lust, give all to God. Blame none if evil comes.

2.     Bless men, when they revile you. Think how much good they are doing you; they can only hurt themselves. Go where people hate you, let them thrash the ego out of you and you will get nearer to the Lord. Like the mother-monkey, we hug our ‘baby’, the world, as long as we can, but at last when we are driven to put it under our feet and step on it then we are ready to come to God. Blessed it is to be persecuted for the sake of righteousness.

3.     Live in harmony with all. Give up all idea of egoism, and entertain no sectarian views. Useless wrangling is a great sin.

4.     Throw overboard all idea of jealousy and egotism, once for all.

5.     Bless people when the revile you. Think how much good they are doing by helping to stamp out the false ego. Hold fast to the Atman, think only pure thoughts, and you will accomplish more than a regiment of mere preachers.

6.     Ignorance is the cause of egoism, attachment, aversion, and clinging to life.

7.     To give up the world is to forget the ego, to know it not at all-------------------living in the body, but not of it. This rascal ego must be obliterated.

8.     Don’t allow egoism to enter your minds, and let love never depart from your hearts.

9.     There is no good in store so long as malice and jealousy and egotism will prevail.

10.                         Until we give up the world manufactured by the ego, never can we enter the kingdom of heaven. None ever did, none ever will. To give up the world is to forget the ego, to know it not at all------------living in the body, but not of it. This rascal ego must be obliterated. Power to help mankind is with the silent ones who only live and love and withdraws their own personality entirely.
