Mātsarya (मात्सर्य) is a Sanskrit term that generally means jealousy, envy, or resentment at others’ success. It is one of the six internal enemies (called ṣaḍ-ripu — “six enemies of the mind”) in Indian spiritual philosophy.
🔹
Meaning and Nuance:
- Mātsarya is not just wanting what others have (that’s lobha — greed), but rather:
- Feeling disturbed, resentful, or unhappy when someone else has something good — wealth, beauty, success, knowledge, or love.
- Wishing they didn’t have it — a form of mental pollution rooted in ego and comparison.
