Bageshwar Dham Sarkar
Is pride in my caste or family background a problem on the spiritual path?
Pride of birth is a thorn
To walk the path to Bhagwan, five thorns must be pulled out of life, and the first is pride of caste or birth. It leads to disrespect of the wise and of devotees.
Being born in a noble family is a good thing, but pride in it is not good; because of pride, wise people and devotees get disrespected.
