..is paved with good intentions :P but that is not what this post is about :D
Person with good intentions will think "I want to do something, I want to do good to other people"
Then that person starts thinking "is there some kind of ego in this? Am I that good that I can do good to other people? Or I m being too egoistic?"
moto will change to " I want to do something for others because it makes me feel good, I want to do good to other people only because it can do good to me, I m not that great" Is this being more truthful with ourself or is this too much pride in modesty? and will this harm because we are putting ourselves down?
Jesus and Buddha didnt think all this, they just went and did what they felt like good or bad( nooo.. mostly good :D) I think It was like going and drinking water for them. I drank water, I healed this lady, I pulled this cow out of water and almost died in the process - all approached with the same spirit. That is when we are pride less! ( How I wish I could be like that- pride-less,age- less,care-less ;-) I mean truly unconcerned about things from the bottom of my heart)
As long as we get these thoughts
"Oh I saved that cow! I am cool!"
"oh no pride.. bad."
"I saved cow I feel good but I will forcefully make myself feel not good about it...Its not a big deal. I did it becuase it made me feel good thats all.."
I think thinking I saved that cow I m cool is better than second one?
Second one is double pride - I saved cow and I am cool and I am modest and I am cool!
