I do not know a human being who does not have mental arrogance. There are those who have a little, there are those who have much, there are those who are entirely made up of it… The mind, by its very nature, is something essentially arrogant. It fancies that it can know, it imagines that it can judge, and it spends its time passing judgments on everything – within you, on yourself, on others, on all things!…
But you have only to observe yourselves… You can observe yourself, catch yourself at least a hundred times a day, with a mind which decides everything, knows everything, judges everything, knows very well what is good, what is bad, what is true, what is false, what is right…
You have only to look at yourself, you will see, you will catch yourself all the time… Not to speak of those who have long ago decided about all the errors God has committed and how the world would be if it were they who had been commissioned to make it!
