Jealousy manifests itself in many forms, including the form of finding fault even in the Divine. People are jealous if someone earned a better name than themselves. Some are jealous of those who are more good looking than themselves. Students envy others who secure more marks in the examination. A jealous person cannot bear to see the other person who is better placed, more beautiful or more prosperous. This is a sign of human weakness. Once jealousy takes root in your mind, in due course, it will destroy all your other achievements. It promotes demonic qualities, dehumanises an individual and reduces one to the condition of an animal. Because of its egregious evil tendency, jealousy should be rooted out from the very beginning. You must learn to enjoy another's prosperity and happiness. This is a great virtue.
