Is it not Arrogant to be Proud
About One's Religion?
The pride of the ego, which
is a separative pride is always divisive, as it insists that only
its point of view is correct. Yet the soul, our inner being, has its
pride, which is a recognition of the value of Spiritual Reality over
material appearances.
One should be proud in a
spiritual sense about the universal element in oneself and in one's
Dharma. We are the Divine itself in manifestation. All time and
space is but our shadow. The mentality of a slave or a sinner does
not suit our Infinite Being.
The soul should be proud of
the Eternal Truth of its nature which states that "I am
all." We need not bow down to any religious belief system or
external religious authority. We need only recognize the Divine
Presence within ourselves. This is Sanatana Dharma, the enduring
Truth of all that is.
