  • Sikhism is against jealousy. The Sikh Gurus asks the devotees to tackle this negative feeling and overcome it - "Jealousy and envy bring terrible pain, and one is cursed throughout the three worlds.(1)" (sggs page 1091). If one fails to subdue this evil trait, the person will suffer horrible pain everywhere he goes. As a negative emotion it causes harm to the mind and body. When one is jealous, one feels depressed, miserable; it brings hatred to the heart; ill feeling; nastiness and anger are elevated in the mind. One who is jealous or envious of others feels painful and resentful at their betterment, and feels happy when some miseries befall on them. The person feels happy when he obtains success but feels miserable when he fails at something. This emotional tug-of-war in the mind brings anguish and doubt to the person who has mood-swings all the time. Some days this person is happy but most of the time he is miserable and depressed. This is because happiness only comes to him when he has success or when others fail and depression comes at all other times. Gurbani teaches us how to manage to overcome this emotion and accept pain and pleasure as equals.
