Jealousy and hatred are twin thieves. The one cannot live without the company of the other. There is an extricable relationship between them; they will always take shelter within each other. Hatred may be compared to a pest and jealousy may be compared to another type of pest. They are twin pests that together can destroy a tree. Consider a tree, which is very flowering, which is producing fruit, which is very attractive to look at. When a pest enters into the roots of this tree, the tree becomes dry within days. One of the pests strikes at the roots while the other goes to the branches and leaves, above. The first tries to destroy the very life of the tree and the other tries to spoil the beauty of the tree. Both accompany each other. Where there is no jealousy there will be no hatred. When hatred is visible, then you will also find jealousy lurking invisibly below. Hatred will take a particular form. It manifests in various ways. For jealousy there is no form; it remains hidden under the surface. It has been said that there is no person in the world who does not suffer from some jealousy; there will be at least a small tendency towards jealousy in every person. To make sure that this jealousy and hatred do not enter your system, you have to develop selfless love. Wherever you find such selfless love there will not be any place for jealousy and hatred to enter and take hold. When jealousy and hatred are kept out, you will have the experience of divine, bliss.
