Truly once you are free of jealousy, you will be able to conquer anything...

'Truly, once you are free of jealousy,
you will be able to conquer anything.
But it cannot be emphasized too strongly,
that jealousy will destroy all your good qualities.

You may think that it will destroy others,
but in fact, it will destroy you, not others.

It will make you sick.
You will not be able to sleep well;
you will not be able to eat well.

Even if at first you were totally healthy,
this jealousy will soon develop all kinds
of physical ailments and diseases in you.

Jealousy is like an inner consumption;
just as tuberculosis creeps in and consumes,
jealousy will weaken you without your realizing it,
it can enter into you in any number of ways and ultimately, destroy you.'
