"Jealousy, lust and the [pursuit of] honor remove a person from the world."
We must train ourselves with awareness and integrity in order to search for and identify whether these feelings existing within us; as they are sent specifically, from the Creator.
The way to deal with these feelings is to look within ourselves and identify what bothers us, and what causes pain. Instead of allowing these destructive feelings to spread - acknowledge, deal with, and eliminate them from our midst.
Sometimes when someone hurts us, we respond from a place of vulnerability and defensiveness, and therefore the distorted interpretation we give a reality. It makes us behave in opposite ways of our interests, as we operate from a place of fear, instead of observing the situation from a place of love and construction.
Resist the temptation of pointing fingers or blaming others, while you experience an "emotional storm." Instead, stop!
Give yourself a chance to reconnect and balance yourself.
Once we let emotions overcome us, we create a state of separation, which causes us to connect to the "darkness".
This is a personal decision that must be taken precisely in times of crisis.
The problem is not "them", but rather where you are and how it affects you.
Deep inside you know that these feelings are not compatible with the person that you aspire to be - an enlightened, conscious person who sees the whole picture while he rises above.
When you're balanced, you achieve freedom and internal security, that allows you to see the beauty and lesson everywhere and in everything.
Where there is love for yourself and others, there is no room for jealousy, lust or a fake desire for honor.
Live your life with integrity, truth and love for yourself, wanting to adhere to unity and wholeness, from an intense longing to create harmony and peace within yourself and thereby the world around you.
