Unknowingly,

you may create and develop in yourself an abounding variety of selfish

habits and attitudes that cause great discontent for you. The impulse

for this comes from the power complex; the greed for power and riches.

You may feel elated that you are very wealthy, talented and

knowledgeable. From where did you acquire these? You may even claim

that you earned all this through your own efforts, but surely, you

received it from someone. The source from which all power originates is

Sarweshwara (Lord of All). Omnipotence belongs only to the Lord of all

beings. Ignoring the Omnipotence and deluding oneself that the little

power that one has acquired is one's own is indeed Ahamkara (conceit).

Ahamkara causes grief and must be uprooted from within. It will not

subsist in an individual filled with genuine devotion, recognized by

the characteristics of kindness, love, patience, forbearance and

gratefulness. Seek therefore, to develop these virtues in you.
