159 Purification of Soul in Islamic Religious Rources
The Willingness of the Person for Purity
Ayatullah Mutahari says:
The difference between physical illness and mental
(soul) illness is that in the mental illness the sick must
know the illness and insist on his healing, but for the
physical illness others can also take decisions.
If the person was unconscious or didn't want to get
well, others can heal his illness by force too.buttoo.
But it's not possible for the mental illness.
There is also a responsibility for the sick, because he is
the patient and he is the doctor simultaneously, so if
you are your own doctor why you didn't yourself?!
(will be questioned on the hereafter).
Remove Other Factors if it's not the Root
Which means, sometimes jealousy comes because
of rudeness so selfishness, just like grudge which
comes because of jealousy.
We have to find out the root of it, to get the
ability of removing it.
Do Opposite Acts
Which means try to act directly opposing of your
wish when you are jealous?
For instance:
be more happy (practice even if you are not),
have kind behavior with others specially those who
you jealous on, try to find good factors in others
and praise them (true compliments on others will
remove your envy).
