AMAR VANI
Jealousy
He who is jealous of the wealth and position and luxuries of others is a thief, a plunderer, a decoit, however saintly or austere he may appear from outside.
Sin and Virtue
If at the beginning of any action you feel a sense of fear and shame within you, you should believe that the action undertaken by you is against the interest of your soul, and hence it is a sin.
Sin seeks to hide itself; it seeks to live in the dark. Virtue, on the other hand, seeks to reveal itself ; it seeks to live in light.
Anything that you want to conceal from others is a sin, and anything that you would like others to know is a virtue.
