BEWARE OF PRIDE

Meher Baba

 
Beware of pride, not only because it is hydra-headed, but because it is deceptive. So deceptive is it that, more often than not, it puts on the apparel of humility.

Do not try to find excuses or extenuating circumstances for your misdeeds. Unless you repent of your wickedness you cannot improve. To attempt to justify your misdeeds is to smother your conscience and to make virtues out of vices.
