Content: 112. When you are intelligent, you don’t need a doctrine.

Content: 113. You are a beautiful being. Why do you allow yourself to become ugly with jealousy?

Content: 114. Everyone and everything is a wonderful part of Existence. If you remember this, jealousy will leave you forever!

Content: 115. When you came, you did not know what jealousy was. You picked it up from here.

Content: 116. Whether you want to remain jealous, only you should decide!
