Verse 208 for 27 July, 2026
208. What is wrongful envy? Concerning this, a householder or his son is wealthy in grain, silver or gold. Then a servant or underling thinks: "If only that wealth didn't belong to them." Or suppose a recluse or Brahmin gets a good supply of robes, food, lodging or medicine for sickness, and another recluse or Brahmin thinks: "If only he didn't get a good supply of those things." This is called wrongful envy and is not abandoned by acts of body or speech, but by seeing it with wisdom.
Anguttara Nikaya V.40 ::
