Basis for Self Respect

Often competition is used to create self-respect. This is a very bad procedure because it backfires, creating vanity,ego and even depression.Competition must not be used to create self-respect.

Self respect must not be based on the defeat of others but must originate in self-awareness,self-development and self-unfoldment. Those who base their self-respect on their victory over others can be trapped in ego,arrogance, and eventually turn into impostors.

Self-respect is not respect for your wealth for your position,for your nation or race , for your power and physical beauty but for your spiritual attainment, for the actualization of the self within your existence or your being,for your service rendered for the alleviation of suffering of humanity for the liberation of humanity.
