Why? Because the natural instinct of a person without connection, a constant connection to Hashem is to be jealous in their heart. You just bought a house. You're happy about it. It's nice threebedroom house. You just spent your life savings on it. You're so excited. Then your friend tells you, "Hey, here. I bought the house." "Oh, you, too?" "Yeah." "Yeah, I bought a house, too." "All right. You want to sell my I'll show you mine?" "YEAH, YEAH, SURE. I'LL COME see yours." And you're excited to show them your house first. But you know what? Let me see his first. You know, give him some respect. He's a nice friend. Gives me more time to fix mine up, to show off. You get in the car, you go to your friend's house, you're following him, then you get into this gated community, and you realize it's not even a gated community. It's just a gated house that has an enormous field. You might as well see deers, lions, and dinosaurs there. It's so big. Like, this is all his. You're confused. How could one person have all of this? You're regretting the day that you actually said yes to come see his house and then you see this giant mansion at the end of the road making your house look like a baby house. Literally his side house that he gives to his cleaning lady is bigger than your house. You don't want to know how much he paid for it. You don't even want to be there. But as soon as you get to the front area where there's at least five or six million dollars worth of cars, he tells you, "Come on, let's go in." And you see these double doors look like they belong in a beta mikdash. You go inside, it's almost like light of heaven is shining inside this house. The chandelier probably cost more than a down payment for your house. You see that there is literally stairs coming from both sides like it's a movie.
