Premanand Maharaj Ji
What does being humble (dainya) really mean, and why is pride the cause of suffering?
Humility means freedom from ego
Dainya (humility) does not mean poverty. It means being free of ego, and pride is what gives all sorrow. If Bhagwan's grace destroys pride, that state is called dainya.
This ego is the root of creation. It entangles us in ignorance and in body-consciousness and makes us do many kinds of actions.
