We should utilize our talents without being envious of others. You should do your best, but you should not be envious of others. In material life there is simply envy of other’s progress, but in spiritual life one encourages another. ‘Oh! You are doing very nice: That is Radharani. She says, ‘Oh! Here is a very nice devotee. Please Krsna, you accept him.’

From Srila Prabhupada’s letter to Madhavananda, 6th October, 1974
