00:00Pride is a great thing, is it not?
00:02Provided we know what to be proud of.
00:04Instead of being proud of all the silly things,
00:06why can't we just be proud of our life,
00:09the compromises we didn't make,
00:11the offers we didn't take?
00:13You read the biographies of truly spiritual people.
00:15They were fiercely proud people.
00:18Not merely proud.
00:19Fiercely proud people.
00:20You'd look at them and you'd say,
00:22oh, what a humble man.
00:23It's because you do not see his core.
00:25All you see is the mannerisms, the behavior.
00:28And so you call him humble.
00:29But behind that humility is a door of steel.
00:33Proud door of steel.
00:35That opens to nobody but the truth.
00:37That bows to no one.
00:38That listens to no one.
00:40If you don't have that steel within,
00:42I feel sorry to imagine how you live.
00:44Better not to live than to live without that steel.
