Question: Can envy harm a person on our spiritual path? In the corporeal world envy is very harmful. How can one envy you and friends in the correct way?

Answer: Envy is both a very good and a very bad property. It depends on how you use it. If envy encourages you, makes you advance fast and help others, then it is good envy. Use it.

Question: Still, how can one not do harm and how can one restrict the desire to envy so as not to corrupt a person’s path and life?

Answer: Envy in a way that you adopt good properties from your friends and use them for connection with them.
