Anasuya, or absence of envy, jealousy & malice, is a prerequisite for gaining an intimate, immediate and personal experience of the omnipresent Divinity. Every spiritual aspirant must necessarily cultivate the quality of anasuya. It is a divine characteristic which makes a man’s personality pure and pellucid. Asuya or chronic jealousy is the source of all mental and physical ailments in this world. To acquire mental equipoise and inner tranquillity, man should make his heart pure by purging his mind of this psychological mania called jealousy. Man must first humanise himself before attempting to divinise himself. To feel jealous of others, even in trivial matters, suppresses humanitarian instincts of a person. People today, waste all their time and energy in blaming others without realising that to search for and find faults in others is the most grievous and ghastly sin! Arjuna was completely free from the deadly qualities of envy, jealousy and malice. Hence he acquired the appellation of anasuya and deserved the nectarous message of Bhagawad Gita from Krishna.
