  1. And when provoking situation arrives the person fall or act according to his/her conditioning.

  2. Although one comes here, stays for a brief time and then goes away, he has the foolish notion that he is the lord of the world. One should know by the cultivation of real knowledge that he is not lord of material nature; the Supreme Personality of Godhead is the Lord. The first qualification is that one should not be deluded by pride.
    Thank you Swamiji

  3. Pride is due to illusion. When one is free from delusion caused by pride, he can begin the process of surrender to the Supreme Lord. For one who is on the bodily concept of life,always expecting some honor in this material world, the resolute determiation for devotion to the Lord does not take place.
    Thank you Swamiji

  10. Very true! The greatest obstacle in our lives materially and spiritually is false pride. This monster forces us to make the wrong decisions for which we suffer reactions. Under the guidance of the Guru and the holy scriptures, we hope to make the right choices.

  11. Thank you Radhanath Swami. Under your guidance, we are getting the knowledge about making the right choices in life. To get rid of false pride is very difficult task to accomplish. Its very subtle. But, by the grace of the Lord and his devotees, I have a hope.

  12. False pride is a very common thing in current time.Everybody has his own false pride even in small achievement, what to speak of big achievements! Sharing our credits of achievement with others will help us to overcome the false pride.

  13. The Holy names of the Lord give us the strength to act coorectly but even then the free will to make the choice is always there with us; to act based on false pride or to act in line with what is real i.e. (service to the Lord) – Thank you Radhanath Swami

  27. Very instructive quote! We have to be so careful in making choices in our lives! Thank you Maharaj!

  29. To come out of this greatest conditioning of false pride, we should associate more and more with great souls who are simple and prideless and eternally willing to render service.

  31. It is easier to create bad habits but it is very very difficult to get out of the easily created bad habits. The subtle they are the more difficult it is

  32. False pride can destroy our spiritual life. Thank you Radhanath Swmai Maharaj for educating us about the consequences of having false pride.

  34. The false pride is the first element to be born and last one to leave when we leave our bodies. Easy to get hard to remove.

  35. So true small-small acts done regularly make habits and habits form our conditioning and sometimes we are proud of these conditioning. Such illusion!

  37. Every step and every moment, we have to make choice. Choosing right path is always encountered with challenges to test our commitment and composure.

  38. This quote from HH Radhanath Swami is so hope giving and can be utilized in positive manner by understanding that we have opportunity of making positive choice at every moment and so making the right impressions and uplifting results eventually. Isn’t it amazing???

    1. Yep. HH Radhanath Swami has given a very concise understanding of the popular refrain – ‘We create our own destiny’.

    2. Very true Piyush its simply amazing some times small things make a significant difference in our life and we often tag so many things as less important in our lives right from our routine habits to relationships only to realize later how important it was. How beautiful swamiji has explained the inmporatnce of every choice in our life and the process of habit formation is simply defined by him.

    3. True. It is definetely a very positive quote. We can re-condition ourselves by making the right choices

  39. Every choice we make in our life has greater impact for rest of our lives as rightly said by HH Radhanath swami ,the thing from which we want to keep distance gets closer i.e. false pride.thanks HH Radhanath swami for sharing wonderful quote.

  40. False pride is dangerous for spiritual life therefore again and again it is mentioned in the revealed scripture that we are servant of Lord. Thank you Radhanath Swami Maharaj.

  41. Very true. False ego is the last snare of Mayadevi and only by humility and determination one can escape that. Thank you very much HH Radhanath Swami Maharaj for this wonderful quote.

  42. Radhanath Swami also mentions in his discourses that good habits come from good association. So it is very imperative to have sadhu sanga.

    1. sure, it make a lot of impact in any walk of life. you are know by the company you keep.. well said Vinay

  43. This is an eye-opener. Thank you Radhanath Swami for the wonderful insights. Forewarned is forearmed.

  44. H.H Radhanath Swami usually gives example of Good dog and Bad dog, which exists in ourselves if feed one and startve another one that dog will b ecome stronger which will create habits as in this quote Maharaj says then these conditioning are false pride.

    1. Yes Rakesh, I also remember him quoting this example often. The more we go on feeding the bad dog, it gets stronger and stronger in turn making us more and more relate with the false side of truth. That is why it is important to regularly hear from enlightened souls like Radhanath Swami.

    2. You have quoted a very nice example given by Radhanath Swami to indicate that the choice is ours – whether we want to satisfy our baser selfish desires or satisfy the Supersoul within.
