Srila Prabhupada, Melbourne, April 19, 1976: […] This material world is enviousness. I am envious of you; you are envious of me. I cannot see you very opulent; you cannot see me very opulent. That is the reason there is rivalry, competition, in this world, man to man, friend to friend, even father and son. The competition is there because we are envious. Suppose I am your neighbor, and I become rich. So although there is no enmity, still my neighbors will be envious: “Oh, this man has become so rich? I could not become.” This is the nature. So if we try to understand Bhagavan, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the Supreme Being, the our first qualification should be: we should not envious.
Therefore in the Srimad-Bhagavatam, in the beginning it is said that dharmah projjhita-kaitavah atra paramo nirmatsaranam. Nirmatsara. Matsarata means to become envious. So that is one of the qualification to understand God, not to become envious. Full Lecture
