"Jealousy is not about the other; it is your own ego seeking an excuse for its inner misery. Transform the observer through awareness, and jealousy will dissolve without residue."
According to Osho, your jealousy isn’t about your wife at all—it’s your own ego, unconsciousness, and inner misery seeking an excuse. Stop blaming outer triggers; take full responsibility. Turn inward: watch the feeling of jealousy moment-to-moment, without condemning or acting on it. In such choiceless awareness, its energy dissolves. Don’t change the object; transform the observer through awareness, and jealousy will vanish without residue.
Don’t blame your wife; quietly notice your jealous feelings inside you until, by watching them without reacting, they fade away.
