Egotism is a very big obstacle in the future-building of a man.This is one vice which destroys all other qualifications of the man.To become proud is suggestive of downfall for a man.Foolishness gives rise to egotism which does not persist even for a moment on reflection.If a man has not been able to comprehend some thing in the life he hesitate to take help from others because of egotism.He does not even ask to others due to hesitation and fail to know the correct answer for his failure.Some man work hard ,and get some success then they feel and think that there is no one sharp as he is.This is also pride.As a result. due to vanity he does not work hard in future and digresses from his goal. Everywhere, pride makes a person fall down. To be ready to go to any level of lowliness just to get cheap praise from friends, to be misled unwillingly under pressure from friends,to commit wrongdoing impulsively against sensibility- these are also deceptive form of pride. Saying- I am not proud, this is also pride.This is very subtle,so subtle that it is next to God in subtlety. It has many forms. Pride,egotism,I,and mine, you and yours- all these are the feelings which bring about the downfall of a person.
The feeling of I and mine and you and yours is attraction which holds sway over all created beings.
Pride and ego are illusory, being overcome by which the life (jiv) gets destroyed. The same illusion produces a desire of physical pleasure and to remove any obstacle coming in the way of achieving this, the person becomes ready to commit any sin.Many of our scripture said pride is the cause of every form of grief and also pride destroys everything.
Those who are very arrogant fall because of their vanity. Hence no one should be arrogant. This the reason for defeat and downfall.God bears all, but not egotism of his devotee. Pride could not survive be it of Ravna,Kansa,and Alexander etc. There is nothing worth being proud of in the world because many persons in the world possess better things than what one feel proud of. Ego blocks the way of the attainment of God. This is a big stumbling block in progress. Hence, cultivate humility in your life. It can be cultivated by hearing good person speeches, reflecting on it and by participating humbly in the divine works of Self-realized great men. Humility with discrimination roots out ego from your mind and sows the seed of self-bliss.Then his/her mind becomes firmly fixed in the Supreme Self, whose ego is effaced.
