How to get rid of Jealousy

To get rid of jealousy, first, we have to find the cause of it - what makes us jealous?

The root cause of jealousy is possessiveness.

When we see that the others have what we want to possess, we become jealous of them.

When we see people with specific talents that we would like to have - others doing what we would like to get credit for, we become jealous.
When we see someone being praised and admired, we become jealous - because we want people to praise us. 

We do not want anyone else to get more attention and admiration than us.
The fact is that deep down in our hearts, we want to possess what others have.

To be free of jealousy, one has to be free from the feeling of possessiveness and ownership.
The sense of ownership creates a feeling of insecurity - a fear of losing what we have. May it be things, objects, positions, or people and our authority and control over them.

The true Gyanis or Enlightened ones are free of jealousy because they are free of possessiveness.
They know that everything in the world is subject to change.

Therefore, they do not hold on or cling to anything.
They do not carry a sense of ownership of anything or anyone, and therefore, stay free of jealousy.
Happy and at peace.
