"Embrace your jealousy fully and watch it in all its ugliness; in the light of awareness, it will dissolve, leaving only love and vitality behind."
According to Osho, you shouldn’t try to diminish jealousy; that only represses it into the unconscious where it continues to rule you. Instead, consciously magnify and fully expose it—exaggerate it, watch every detail, feel its ugliness as your own experience. In total, choiceless awareness, jealousy reveals itself as poisonous and, seen clearly, dissolves on its own, allowing love and vitality to remain undiminished.
Don’t push jealousy down—bring it out, look at it honestly, and by really seeing how it hurts you, it loses power and fades.
Why this matters practically
- Stops repression that makes jealousy subtler and stronger.
- Preserves love and joy from being numbed alongside jealousy.
- Builds self-awareness, reducing reactive, destructive behavior.
