atmosphere of non-envy.

[Guest guest]

TRANSLATION

Sometimes the living entity is busy counteracting the natural disturbances

of freezing cold, scorching heat, strong wind, excessive rainfall and so

forth. When he is unable to do so, he becomes very unhappy. Sometimes he

is cheated in business transactions one after another. In this way, by

cheating, living entities create enmity among themselves.

 

PURPORT

This is an example of the struggle for existence, the attempt to counteract

the onslaught of material nature. This creates enmity in society, and

consequently society is filled with envious people. One person is envious

of another, and this is the way of the material world. The Krsna

consciousness movement aims at creating an atmosphere of non-envy. Of

course it is not possible for everyone to become Krsna conscious, but the

Krsna consciousness movement can create an exemplary society wherein there

is no envy.
