00:00Looking at somebody else's marks or performance or salary or success is useful, but only in a limited way.
00:07You can look at them just to get a clearer idea of where your current performance stands.
00:13That's the only utility. Beyond that, the others are not a benchmark. You are born alone. You will die alone.
00:19What will you do with others?
00:22Honestly, accept you have done very badly and then say, not next time.
00:27I'll improve. And in this, there is not much room for another person.
00:34It's you versus yourself. So what is there then to be jealous of?
00:39There is me and there is my potential. And the competition is between only these two.
00:45So who else is there to feel jealous of? There is nobody else. And that's pure Vedanta.
00:52There is only your little self versus your ultimate self.
