I see I am jealous, envious, brutal, and what happens? The mind, thought says, ‘I must suppress it, it’s not right that I should be jealous because it’s very painful, leads to hatred and involves all kinds of misery: I must avoid it.’ And so there is a duality. Now, can the mind observe jealousy and not move away from it? I am jealous – what does that mean? I am jealous – what is involved in it? I don’t want to suppress it, run away from it or change the fact that I am jealous.
