Harmful Effects of a Self-Defence Mechanism

Humans have a natural urge to grow be it in the world or the spiritual path. True growth actualises only when humans use their intellect to control Ego and Conceit. These two impediments have even historically been the cause of regress in numinous and prominent business figures world over. Knowledge of Vedanta aids in developing the intellect. Use of the intellect makes the individual humble and renders clarity in choices. Humility is supple, empowers one to open one’s mind and take in fresh knowledge. This effects in growth. Clear choices align oneself to benefactors and furthermore recognises persons who could potentially be of any detriment, at times appearing in the garb of well-wishers. A sharp intellect doesn’t allow the individual to create a self-defence mechanism and stunt ones growth in any manner. © 2022 Prayagraj Hule
