SUBHASHITHANI:211

MATSARYA... The sense that others have it and I don’t have it is jealousy. Finding it intolerable that others are as happy as oneself, Matsarya makes one miserable; over other's good fortune.  Only I should have all things  is the feeling of Matsarya (The last of the six enemies-Shad ripu ) .Duryodhana was an epitome of maatsarya. 
(Matsarya - envy, jealousy, vanity, and pride , असूया , ईर्षुः and मत्सरः are synonymous)

कामः क्रोधश्च लोभश्च मदो मोहश्च मत्सरः ।
न जिताः षडिमे येन तस्य शान्तिर्न सिध्यति II सर्ववेदान्तसिद्धान्तसारसङ्ग्रहः

Kaamah krodhascha lobhascha mado mohascha matsarah I

Na jitaah shadime yena tasya shaantirna sidhyati II ॥ SVSSS

Those who have not won over the ‘six enemies of the mind ‘ viz Lust,anger, greed,pride,delusion,and jealousy can never obtain peace of mind.

यदृच्छालाभसन्तुष्टो द्वन्द्वातीतो विमत्सरः ।

समः सिद्धावसिद्धौच कृत्वापि न निबध्यते ॥ (BG 4.22)

One who is satisfied with what comes unasked for, who has transcended the dualities, who is free from envy and is equi-poised under success and failure  he is not bound even by performing actions.
