When we are being humble, we are mostly looking down at the person in front of us. And arrogance is a defense mechanism for when we feel inferior.
In life, there are no high achievement, no big failures. There is no reason to look up to anybody, nor to look down. That’s how we get to see things the way they are.
It’s our own beliefs that stop us from doing what we can do. We worry about what to do or not to do based on our rights and wrongs. Everything we can do, must happen. Treat it is as a guiding light towards our Karma. What we can not do at this moment, let it flow. May be it was not destined.
When we anchor ourselves in the present moment, our ego’s need for self-preservation lessens. In that moment, there is no longer a need for us to be humble or arrogant. These two dissapear when ego disappears. Then, only karma remains.
