A short spiritual teaching (YouTube) arguing that secretly wishing others to suffer spiritually binds you and prevents personal growth, prosperity, and deep connection to the Creator. The speaker urges replacing schadenfreude with empathy—treating every soul as you would your own child—as the path to miracles and spiritual freedom.
We all have people in our lives that we are tethered to spiritually still, because we want them to suffer in some way, and we do not want to see them succeed. This desire for them to not succeed, or at least not succeed more than you, or to suffer, or to just suffer a little bit, or to go through a process where they depend on you, all of those desires are holding you back from finding your soulmate, from connecting to prosperity, from growing your business, from creating miracles in your life, from becoming like God. This isn't a game of who is better than the other. This is a game of connecting your soul to the light of the Creator and no one else matters. And the way to do that is to act like the Creator to every soul in this world. But why do we get happy when people fall? Well, they deserve this. Even if they deserve it. Think of your own child. If your child fell, if your child went to prison and they did do something wrong, would you say, well, my son deserved it, Good riddance? You would never say that. You'd be in pain if it was your son. So why aren't you in pain when a complete stranger falls? It's a question. And to the extent that we can feel, not joy, when people fall and actually wish them well, to the extent it was our own children, then you're on the path to miracles.
