We have been roaming in this matterial world from millions of lifetimes, as a effect we have develop so many ananths in our heart. The prominent one is pride. This pride is like sweet venom. At the initial stages it seems very pleasing but as the moments will pass it will start showing its effect.
we think that we are devotees and it is generally believe that the most pure jewel of a devotee is his humility. And and if he doesn't have that means "we are very far. we have to push ourselves .Chaitanya mahaprabhu also explains that one should be as humble as a blade of grass and as torrent as a tree. We all know this thing.
"Isn't it?"
But are we following that?
For me it is not going well.
I know that I have to serve.I am a servant, of the servant, of the servant. I know this also. But do I always feel like being a servant? Not always. Why this things happened? The simple answer, of course, is that “I don’t know that.” And the reason I don’t know that is because I am a conditioned soul; very conditioned. I am so much the way I am that I often don’t even realize the way I am. So many of us don’t always realize when we are out of alignment with our beliefs, values or and philosophy. Are I Really living the philosophy as prabhupada told us to do so? Probably not. Still I am always proud. Sometimes I am not as kind as a devotee should be. Sometimes I am not as self-controlled as a devotee should be. Sometimes I am not as tolerant, sweet, considerate, or humble as a devotee should be. But this is not the biggest problem. The real problem is when I don’t even notice this. If we can somehow our develop true humility within our hearts then our destination is not so much far.
Hare Krishna.
All glories to shrila prabhupada.
