EGOTISM
"Egotism and possessiveness are very enticing, egotistical pride has plundered everyone".
Guru Nanak Dev Ji 1469-1539
Egotism is one of the greatest obstacles in achieving a state of spiritual bliss. Those who forever think and say 'I, I' can never appreciate what they have or respect the feelings and ways of other people. Their mind is blinded by ego, they see no further. Stop your ego; think of others, have love in your heart and meditate as often as possible.
We should all have DIVINE pride, which is a pride for our faith and beliefs. This makes us powerful individuals through blessings of the divine. We should not be ashamed of who we are and walk with our heads held high, as we are the sons and daughters of the most spiritual guide to have ever existed.
Vaheguroo!
