Gnani - A Parthasarathy

Amaanitvam: Having no pride

You develop pride along with your worldly achievements of wealth, power, position, status etc. You gain a vanity. An air of superiority. You misjudge your role in life. Consequently you deal incorrectly with the world. This causes friction externally and agitation within. You may be superior to others in some aspects. But is that any reason why you should feel superior to them?

Are they not superior to you in other respects? Then who is superior to whom? Is it not vainful ignorance for anyone to claim superiority over another in this beautiful world of assorted talents?
