To be jealous is mean, to be selfish is ignoble, to be compassionate is divine, to be patient is manly, to be content and happy is wise, to be calm and serene is glorious, to be dispassionate is praiseworthy, to be equanimous is laudable. Therefore, eradicate selfish¬ness and jealousy and cultivate divine virtues. Take complete refuge in the Supreme Lord. You will soon attain Godhead.
