Mahājano yena gataḥ sa panthāḥ (CC Madhya 17.186). This is Prahlāda Mahārāja's instruction, that don't be falsely proud unless you have got the qualification. That is our mistake, dambha, dambha. And the pure life begins when we give up dambha, false prestige. Adambhitvam amānitvam ahiṁsā kṣāntir ārjavam (BG 13.8). This is the begin . . . One who is falsely proud, he is . . . (aside:) What is that sound? One should not be falsely proud. Everyone . . . Material world means everyone is falsely proud. Everyone is thinking, āḍhyo 'smi dhanavān asmi ko 'sti mama samaḥ. Everyone. This is the disease. "I am the richest," "I am the powerful," "I am the very intelligent." Everything, "I am." This is called ahaṅkāra. Ahaṅkāra vimudhātmā kartāham iti manyate (BG 3.27). This false prestige, when one is absorbed with false things, he becomes vimūḍha, rascal. Ahaṅkāra-vimūḍhātmā kartāham iti manyate. This is false prestige. We have to give up this false prestige. Ahaṅkāra must be there, because you are a reality. You are not false. Your body is false, but you are reality: "I am soul." That realization must come: ahaṁ brahmāsmi. Not that ahaṅkāra-vimūḍhātmā, "I am dog," "I am American," "I am Indian," "I am this." This is ahaṅkāra, this false ahaṅkāra. But giving up all these nonsense prestigious position . . . A dog is also thinking he's in a prestigious position: "I am dog. I can bark very loudly. Gow! Gow!" He's also thinking that. Similarly, if I also think, "I am Indian," "I am white," "I am black," "I am this," what is the difference? Therefore Bhagavad-gītā says, ahaṅkāra-vimūḍhātmā kartāham iti manyate (BG 3.27). He is completely under the control of material nature, and he's thinking falsely that "I am very advanced in . . ." so on, so on. This should be given up.

-Prabhupāda: Mahajano yena gatah sa panthah (CC Madhya 17.186). This is Prahlada Maharaja's instruction, that don't be falsely proud unless you have got the qualification. That is our mistake, dambha, dambha. And the pure life begins when we give up dambha, false prestige. Adambhitvam amanitvam ahimsa ksantir arjavam (BG 13.8). This is the begin... One who is falsely proud, he is... (aside:) What is that sound? One should not be falsely proud. Everyone... Material world means everyone is falsely proud. Everyone is thinking, adhyo 'smi dhanavan asmi ko 'sti mama samah. Everyone. This is the disease. "I am the richest," "I am the powerful," "I am the very intelligent." Everything, "I am." This is called ahankara. Ahankara vimudhatma kartaham iti manyate (BG 3.27). This false prestige, when one is absorbed with false things, he becomes vimudha, rascal. Ahankara-vimudhatma kartaham iti manyate. This is false prestige. We have to give up this false prestige. Ahankara must be there, because you are a reality. You are not false. Your body is false, but you are reality: "I am soul." That realization must come: aham brahmasmi. Not that ahankara-vimudhatma, "I am dog," "I am American," "I am Indian," "I am this." This is ahankara, this false ahankara. But giving up all these nonsense prestigious position... A dog is also thinking he's in a prestigious position: "I am dog. I can bark very loudly. Gow! Gow!" He's also thinking that. Similarly, if I also think, "I am Indian," "I am white," "I am black," "I am this," what is the difference? Therefore Bhagavad-gita says, ahankara-vimudhatma kartaham iti manyate (BG 3.27).

+''Mahājano yena gataḥ sa panthāḥ'' ([[vanisource:CC Madhya 17.186|CC Madhya 17.186]]). This is Prahlāda Mahārāja's instruction, that don't be falsely proud unless you have got the qualification. That is our mistake, ''dambha'', ''dambha''. And the pure life begins when we give up ''dambha'', false prestige. ''Adambhitvam amānitvam ahiṁsā kṣāntir ārjavam ''([[vanisource:BG 13.8-12 (1972)|BG 13.8]]). This is the begin . . . One who is falsely proud, he is . . . (aside:) What is that sound?

''Ahaṅkāra vimudhātmā kartāham iti manyate ''([[vanisource:BG 3.27 (1972)|BG 3.27]]). This false prestige, when one is absorbed with false things, he becomes ''vimūḍha'', rascal.
