This video is an excerpt from an OSHO talk on 'From Personality to Individuality #4' in which OSHO speaks on Jealousy and goes to the roots of the phenomenon of Jealousy and how society has used it as a device to divide and rule.
The Osho Collection, Vol. 11: Jealousy Means Living in Comparison
Jealousy means living in comparison and from the very childhood, every society, every culture and every religion teaches everybody comparison and the child is bound to learn. He is just like a tabula-rasa. Man comes in existence with all the doors open, all the directions available, all the dimensions for him to choose, but before he can choose, before he can be, before he can even feel his being he is spoiled. If you being happy or sad is dependent on comparison then it is the most dangerous thing to happen to any human being. In the competition ladder, the guy who is below you gives you tremendous satisfaction and you are always trying to reach to the level of those who are above you and this keep you moving up the ladder throughout your life and at-last you will have to end up somewhere in the middle, still having a bunch full of people above and below you because the ladder you have been chasing has no end point. It is just like a circular ladder and it is for making you not be yourself. Because If you are yourself you have found contentment, fulfillment and ecstasy.
