No Jealousy

1.Adhere the habit of 
unenvying in heart.  
2.You’re great if not
envying on others. 
3.Looser of virtue and 
wealth exhibit envy.
4.Wise know evils of 
envying, undo unrighteousness.
5.Envy enough even enemy 
fails to harm
6.Grudging gifts loose relatives 
clothes and food.
7.Wealth envies envious decamping 
pointing misfortune, sister.
8.Envy, sinner ruins fortune 
directs to underworld.
9.Always analyze envious’ prosperity,
 righteous’ misfortune 
10.No envious prosperous, no 
magnanimous collapsed ever.
