What is the difference between sanskar and ahankar, and how do I know if I am proud?
Sign of pride: wanting respect from everyone
Ego enjoys making others bow, while sanskar (good values) is happy to bow itself. As long as you crave respect from others, you are still proud.
Ego is happy making others bow, and good values (sanskar) are happy bowing oneself.
