Against jealousy
The first blast of jealousy, and the one after the first, the fire, the heat of the heart—this we extinguish for thee.
Atharva Veda
Against jealousy
Against jealousy
The first blast of jealousy, and the one after the first, the fire, the heat of the heart—this we extinguish for thee.
As the earth [is] dead-minded, more dead-minded than a dead man, and as [is] the mind of one who has died, so of the jealous man the mind [be] dead.
That fluttering mind (manaská) that has found place in (çritá) thy heart—from it I set free thy jealousy, like the hot vapor from a bag of skin.
