According to Osho, jealousy is a social device born from childhood conditioning into comparison; it means living on a ladder against others rather than from your own being. It keeps you away from yourself, ensuring misery and hope-deferred. Jealousy thus signals distance from your aloneness; freedom comes by dropping comparison, turning inward, and reclaiming integrity and authenticity.
Jealousy is what happens when you keep measuring yourself against others—it shows you forgot to be with yourself, so turn inward and it fades.
