A Prayer Against Envy

Master of the Universe, grant me the merit to escape from envy (tzarus ayin). May I never be jealous of any man in the world, nor of any woman in the world. May I truly rejoice in my own portion, and never transgress—even for a single moment or second—the prohibition of, "You shall not covet your neighbor's house, your neighbor's wife, or anything that belongs to your neighbor." For this is the Tenth Commandment, for which there is absolutely no forgiveness in the world. As the holy Arizal says in Shaar HaGilgulim, Chapter 23, there is no forgiveness for jealousy. A person is obligated to eat, to earn a living, to multiply, and to sustain himself (parnassah), but jealousy is completely unnecessary and brings absolutely no benefit. As it is stated in Tractate Shabbos 153, "Envy is the rotting of the bones." When they dug in the earth of Rebbe Nachman—who alone can extract a person from jealousy—they found a man in the ground. They were terrified and thought it was a demon. He said to them, "I am the famous Amora, Rabbi Achai bar Yoshiyah, who can sweeten every judgment in the world and atone for every sin in the world, provided a person does true teshuvah (repentance), until the Knower of Hidden Things (Hashem) testifies about him that he will never return to this sin again."
