Prosveta Publishing is pleased to offer you the Daily Meditation for this 05/12/2008.
  
 "Your ability to be happy at other people’s good fortune is the
 criterion for how evolved you are. For, you must admit, it’s
 usually difficult to be thrilled about other people’s successes
 and happiness, especially if they succeed where you have failed.
 On the other hand, when you see them unhappy, it arouses kind
 thoughts and feelings, pity, compassion and the need to comfort
 them and help them. Yes, when others have accidents or serious
 illnesses and can no longer arouse envy in them, people
 naturally become more kind and understanding, without even
 having to try. So you must study your reactions to other
 people’s success and happiness. The day you are able to be
 sincerely pleased for them will be the proof that you have
 succeeded in detaching yourself from the astral and mental
 planes �?your egocentric feelings and thoughts �?and have been
 able to rise to the causal and buddhic planes where wisdom and
 love reign, which alone are capable of giving you true joy."
