What should I feel instead of jealousy when someone does more naam jap than me?

Turn jealousy into reverence

When you see someone doing a lot of naam jap (chanting God's name), wish to receive their charanamrit and touch their foot-dust, instead of burning. Replace jealousy with reverence, or it turns into criticism and ruins your bhajan.

These are our Bhagwan's devotees — welcome, welcome — not burning with jealousy. That is wrong. Give it up, otherwise this very burning will make you start criticising.
