Persons who want to advance in superior religion are advised to give up all envy of other living entities, whether in relationship to the body, words or mind. There is no religion superior to this.

Translation
There is no higher dharma than giving up violence to all living beings by mind, words and body for persons desiring proper principles.
There is no higher dharma than giving up violence (daṇḍasya).
Personal Guidance
The highest religion is freedom from envy of all living beings — in body, words, and mind. No other dharma rises higher. Test every spiritual claim by whether it reduces or increases envy in you.
Reflection Questions
- Whom do you still envy, and what spiritual story do you tell yourself to justify it?
- Which envy could you genuinely release this month?
