Om Swami

Does feeling jealous make me a bad person, and why does jealousy grow?

Jealousy grows with selfishness; it doesn't make you low

Jealousy grows when selfishness is strong, and a little of it comes to everyone at some time. Its arrival doesn't make you low; the difference lies in whether you flow along with the feeling.

The arrival of jealousy does not mean you have become a lowly person, or that you have not reached, or cannot reach, a higher state.
