Page 10 - Sri Aurobindo on Humility

... just as the rajasic ahankara which exalts itself

unduly is not good for the sadhana, creating

pride, vanity and delusion, so this opposite

thing, called often tamasic ahankara, is not

good, for it creates diffidence, despondency and

in some people inertia.

~ Sri Aurobindo, CWSA, 31: 225
