Episode Synopsis

In this episode, we explore pride and its destructive effects on personal growth. Originating from a sense of self-importance, pride transforms courage into illusion and, in reality, makes us fearful. This video illustrates how pride distances us from blessings, imprisons us within ourselves, and diminishes our awareness.Pride is essentially a biological survival mechanism that protects a fragile identity, but it often leads to self-destructive behaviors. In this video, we examine the difference between self-respect and a sense of personal importance, emphasizing the importance of selflessness and overcoming the "inner thief" through virtues such as sacrifice and kindness.Using the metaphor of the lion and the well, we delve into self-deception and self-harm. Ultimately, we uncover ways to replace pride with self-restraint and inner strength, so we don't fall into the trap of a new form of pride that comes with power.BOOK: < On our path >Author : GholamReza Rashidiawareness•spiritual path•meaning of life•spiritual awakening•illusion•struggle•self-discovery•personal growth•Dar Taright Ma•inner peace•transcendence•consciousness•self-awareness•meaning•purpose
