What good is social class and status? Truthfulness is measured within. Pride in one's status is like poison - holding it in your hand and eating it, you shall die.

Pride, emotional attachment, greed and corruption are gone;one can not place anything else, other than the Lord, within his consciousness

That scholar who is full of greed, arrogant pride and egotism, is known to be a fool. So read the Name, and realize the Name, and contemplate the Guru's Teachings.

Renounce sexual desire, anger, falsehood and slander; forsake Maya and eliminate egotistical pride.

Blessed is the mother who gave birth; blessed and respected is the father of one who serves the True Guru and finds peace. His arrogant pride is banished from within. Standing at the Lord's Door, the humble Saints serve Him; they find the Treasure of Excellence.

What good are the ceremonial lines drawn around your kitchen, when these four are seated there with you?
