Swami Mukundananda
Why does pride block God's grace?
Pride keeps God's grace away
Pride is extremely ugly to God because it arises only in forgetfulness of him. Kabir said that as long as he kept his sense of self, God, seeing the ego, would not manifest his grace.
Pride is extremely ugly to God, because it only arises in forgetfulness of Him. It is like the firefly, which can be proud of its radiance in the darkness.
