Why does power make people proud, and how can bhakti and humility help?
Bhakti and bowing keep pride away
Goswami Tulsidas writes that it is very hard for anyone in the world to gain power and not become proud. The exception is the bhakt (devotee), who lives in the Lord's self-respect. Learn to bow, because the one who bows is the one who rises.
A person of devotional nature does not become proud; he lives life in the self-respect that comes from belonging to the Lord.
