    About this ebook

    In his unique and provocative style Osho takes on here an issue nobody really likes to discuss because we are all affected by it and have very few solutions how to deal with it: JEALOUSY, a terrorizing emotion which has infiltrated our understanding of love and damaged it badly. Osho takes us through an understanding and the historical development and sources of jealousy and that happens always by taking on so called 'holy cows' institutions and facts we almost take for granted and don't dare to challenge.

    "People say that marriages are made in heaven” a strange kind of heaven, because if these marriages are made in heaven, then what can you make in hell?"

    Our OSHO Singles mini eBook series continues with this jewel of Osho - a helpful little read which can have a big impact in our understanding.

      Osho never fails to make me question my way of thinking and viewing the world. One of the most thought provoking yet controversial piece of his work.

    Jealousy – The Byproduct of Marriage

    I have just one question, maybe it’s nothing spiritual but for me it’s quite something – my jealousy.

     Would you please tell me the very roots of jealousy, how I can deal with it, or even go through it?

    Jealousy is one of the most prevalent areas of psychological ignorance about yourself, about others and more particularly, about relationship.

    People think they know what love is – they do not know. And their misunderstanding about love creates jealousy. By love people mean a certain kind of monopoly, some possessiveness – without understanding a simple fact of life: that the moment you possess a living being you have killed him.

    Life cannot be possessed. You cannot have it in your fist. If you want to have it, you have to keep your hands open.

    But the thing has been going on a wrong path for centuries; it has become ingrained in us so much that we cannot separate love from jealousy. They have become almost one energy.

    For example, you feel jealous if your lover goes to another woman. You are disturbed by it now, but I would like to tell you that if you don’t feel jealous you will be in much more trouble – then you will think you don’t love him, because if you loved him you should have felt jealous. Jealousy and love have become so mixed up.

    In fact, they are poles apart. A mind that can be jealous cannot be loving, and vice-versa: a mind that is loving cannot be jealous.

    What is the disturbance? You have to look it as if it is not your question – somebody else has asked, it is somebody else’s problem – so that you can stand aside and see the whole fabric.

    The feeling of jealousy is a byproduct of marriage.
