To stop being envious and suffering, we need to understand that we are all eternal servants of Krishna, God, the Supreme Person. We will thus resume our true position and stop pretending that we are God, and return to our true abode where all beings who live there are engaged in an exchange of love with Krishna, and where all beings know their situation.

That is where we will be truly happy for eternity

The Lord says : He who fulfills his duty according to My instructions and who follows this teaching with faith, without envy, the one - there is liberation from the chains of karma.

Because you never jealous Me, I will reveal to you the most secret wisdom, by which you will be freed from the sufferings of material existence.

Having sought refuge in the false ego, in power, pride, lust and anger, the demonic blasphemes true religion and envies Me, I the Supreme Lord, who resides in his very body, as in that of others.

The envious and evil, the last of men, I plunge them into the ocean of material existence in the various forms of demonic life.

But those who, because they are envious, neglect to always apply My teachings, they are know it, deluded, deprived of knowledge, doomed to ignorance and servitude.

The Supreme Lord instructs and comforts the incarnate soul.

Desiring to awaken in her consciousness of God and also relieve her sufferings, the Lord reminds her that she once enjoyed an intimate relationship with Him, until she decided one day to leave Him for the material universe.

The Lord said : Dear friend, although you cannot recognize Me immediately, do not remember -you not have once had a most intimate friend?

But you have, alas, left Me to savor the pleasures of this material world. My dear and sweet friend, you and I are like two swans. We live together in the same heart, which is like Lake Mânasa [lake on the Edenic planets, large, beautiful, peaceful and deep]. Although we have lived together for several thousand years, we are still very far from our original residence [the spiritual world]. You are still the same friend to Me. Since you left Me, you have immersed yourself more and more in materialism, and, unable to see Me, you have traveled in various [bodily] forms in this world, each of which came from some woman [the Lord here designates material nature].

To help the embodied soul better understand the mechanism of its conditioning within material nature, the Lord uses allegorical language. He compares the material body to a city in which the occupant [the soul] seeks to enjoy his senses.
