Do not covet
Freedom from covetousness is a divine quality. Be glad for what you have, and do not set your heart on what is another’s.
Wanting what others have makes a person restless and unkind. Kṛṣṇa lists freedom from covetousness among the divine qualities. When you notice yourself wanting, ask what you already have that you have stopped seeing, and give thanks for it.
