nareshu -- in all persons; abhikshnam -- constantly; mat-bhavam -- the personal presence of Me; pumsah -- of the person; bhavayatah -- who is meditating upon; acirat -- quickly; spardha -- the tendency to feel rivalry (against equals); asuya -- envy (of superiors); tiraskarah -- and abuse (of inferiors); sa -- along with; ahankarah -- false ego; viyanti -- they disappear; hi -- indeed.
For him who constantly meditates upon My presence within all persons, the bad tendencies of rivalry, envy and abusiveness, along with false ego, are very quickly destroyed.
We conditioned souls tend to feel rivalry toward our equals, envy toward our superior, and the desire to belittle our subordinates. These contaminated propensities, along with their very basis, false ego, can be quickly vanquished by meditating upon the Supreme Personality of Godhead within every living being.
