Mutual Joy cures
all
Envy and
Jealousy :-)

Thinking about the dear companion can be the
proximate cause for Mutual Joy,
where one
rejoices in another being's success... One thus rejoicing in
another's
fortune is called a good
'boon companion', for he is constantly glad, since
he laughs first,
and speaks afterward!
So he should be the first to be pervaded with gladness. Or on seeing a dear person being happy,
cheerful, and glad, mutual joy can
be
aroused thus:
"See how this being is indeed glad! How good,
how sweet, and how excellent is that!"
Just as one would be glad at seeing a dear and beloved person very happy, exactly
so does one
pervade all other beings in all universal directions with
this exceedingly elevating
mutual joy...
Rejoicing mutual joy can also be aroused by remembering other's happiness
in the
past and by
recollecting the elated joy aspect in this way: "In the past he had great
wealth, a great following,
and he was always glad". Or mutual joy can be aroused
by apprehending the future glad aspect
of his in this way: "In the future he will
again enjoy similar success and will go about in this world
under gold palanquins,
on the backs of elephants, or on white horseback". Having thus aroused
mutual
joy regarding a dear person, one can then redirect the very same feeling successively
towards
a neutral one, and later gradually towards even any hostile
person.

Causal Comments:
Mutual joy causes Contentment! No mutual joy thus
entails
Discontentment!
Therefore: If being
generally dissatisfied, then be happy over other's success ;-)
Secondly: Mutual joy causes all envy and jealousy to evaporate into
equanimity!

Mutual Joy
(Muditā), which cures all
envy and jealousy,
is a divine state!
