Jealousy

The Six Impurities of the Mind: A Path to Self-Awareness and Transformation

The six impurities of the mind—ego, greed, attachment, lust, jealousy, and anger—are seen as obstacles on the path to inner peace and spiritual growth. Each represents a facet of human nature that, when left unchecked, clouds judgment, distorts perception, and hinders one’s ability to live authentically and harmoniously. By understanding and addressing these impurities, we can cultivate a clearer mind, a purer heart, and a more balanced life.

Jealousy

Jealousy arises from comparison and a sense of inadequacy, creating resentment toward others for what they possess or achieve. It sows discord and erodes self-esteem, preventing appreciation for one's unique journey. Jealousy blinds you to your own potential and hinders genuine joy for others’ successes.
