Скачать или смотреть Is Arrogance Still a Problem?

When I started my spiritual journey, one of the most talked-about topics was EGO, or arrogance. Back then, everyone seemed to be discussing how important it was to manage - or even "kill" - the EGO. Then, over time, that conversation faded.
But in the past year or two, it's started to come back - showing up again in talks, workshops, conferences, and on social media. And I feel it's time to share my perspective - not to join the trend, but maybe to help prevent EGO from becoming just another personal development "fashion."
First, I've experienced arrogance firsthand - and I've been aware of it. What surprised me is that it can show up in two very different ways:
1. Thinking I'm better than others, without real justification. Even as a weapon to diminish others' value.
2. Or, on the flip side, feeling powerless and victimized.
At first glance, they seem like opposites. But actually, they're two sides of the same coin. In both, EGO is at play - either shouting "I'm superior!" or whispering "Look at how bad I have it." In both cases, EGO wants attention. Whether I'm high or low, the message is the same: I am the most important person here.
Second, I don't see the EGO as an enemy. Sure, spiritual traditions like the Brahma Kumaris talk about reaching an "egoless stage" - and yes, that's a powerful ideal. But it takes time, effort, and deep inner work. I remember Dadi Prakashmani, then head of the Brahma Kumaris, once spoke on this topic. She didn't lecture - she humbly asked the group, "How do we conquer EGO?" That humility stayed with me. Instead of fighting the EGO, maybe we can cultivate what I call a "positive EGO" - a healthy self-identity rooted in self-respect and in caring for others. Then things like looks, status, wealth or talents - things that usually feed arrogance - can become tools for doing good, even for living selflessly.
Third, if we want to overcome EGO or arrogance, maybe the solution isn't to fight it. Why? Because fighting means resisting - and resistance often creates more tension. Instead, we can build resilience. By developing resilience, we become stronger inside. And from that strength, it becomes easier to shift into a higher consciousness, one where arrogance simply has no place.
The people I've met who seemed to have truly transcended EGO - like Dadi Prakashmani - didn't do it by force. They transformed themselves gradually. They lived in deep soul consciousness, beyond the material world. They embodied the saying:
"We are not human beings having a spiritual experience; we are spiritual beings having a human experience."
They didn't live from arrogance - they lived from self-esteem.
