Bageshwar Dham Sarkar
Why does pride lead to downfall, and what should I live by instead?
Live in God's self-respect, not pride
Living in pride leads to downfall, while living in the self-respect that comes from your guru and your Paramatma leads to His feet. Be full of Bhagwan, not of pride.
If you stay full of pride you will not endure, but if you stay full of Bhagwan, no one will be able to stand before you.
