PRIDE - the greatest enemy

For some days had been doing the daily Sadhana in a more disciplined way and that immediately brought PRIDE in me :((. Yesterday when devotees were telling their difficulties (out of humility) to cope up with the daily Krishna Conscious schedule, internally I was proud  of my Sadhana. Immediately overnight fell sick and could not rise up early. My pride was crushed into powder!!

Lesson I learnt - "The Supreme Absolute Truth is the support on whom all living beings are eternally dependant. We cannot breathe unless He supplies air at every second. We cannot see unless He supplies light from the Sun. We cannot exist unless He provides the earth that we stand on, the rain that falls from the clouds. We are completely dependent on God’s mercy. To admit that, you have to become   full of humility. Out of pride we may think that we are intelligent. But did we make our brain? God has given us a brain and without that brain, we cannot even think one thought. We may think we are excellent speakers, but have we created the tongue? It is all provided by the Lord." - HH Radhanath Swami
