All jealousy is a feeling of inferiority || Acharya Prashant, with youth (2013)
Questioner (Q): Jealousy stops us from achieving our own goal, instead we try to think that what others are achieving, that’s not us. What about that jealousy?
Acharya Prashant (AP): What’s your name?
Q: Nikhil.
AP: Nikhil has spoken about jealousy. Very honestly , how many of us have experienced jealousy at some point or other? I have (raising his own hands). So, jealousy is something very, very common right? Very common, happens with everybody. So, it has to do with something that is present in the mind of everybody. Are we justified in saying this?
If jealousy is something so common that everybody experiences it, then jealousy must have something to do with something that is present in the mind of everybody, are you getting it? If everybody experiences something, then all of us must have something in common. What is it that we have in common, which gives rise to jealousy? What is it that we all have that is responsible for jealousy?
Q: We all are thinking of what others are doing.
