Acharya Prashant explains that jealousy is a common experience rooted in the mind's tendency to compare one's self-image with others. He identifies the ego as the primary driver of this feeling, where one perceives their self-worth as being less than that of another person. This sense of inferiority is not innate but is constructed through external inputs from family, society, and education. He points out that people are conditioned from childhood to believe they are imperfect or lacking, which leads to a constant desire for improvement and a feeling of being a 'defective model.' He asserts that every individual is inherently perfect and a 'masterpiece' regardless of their mistakes, blunders, or shortcomings. He distinguishes between the need to acquire skills or knowledge and the fundamental worth of the person, which remains untarnished. Acharya Prashant encourages the audience to have innate confidence and to accept their mistakes without letting those mistakes define their self-worth. By realizing one's own inherent perfection and stopping the reliance on others' opinions for self-validation, the root of jealousy is eliminated.
