unhappy when others are happy – envy

Envy cannot be engaged in the service of Krsna.

Envy has to be given up. Envy is where we take pleasure like this:
We are happy when someone else is unhappy and we are unhappy when someone else is happy.

We are unhappy when someone else is glorified.

That we have to conquer. We have to change ourselves to give respect to everyone.
