Inferiority

The constant mental game of comparing ourselves to others—feeling superior to some and inferior to others—is exhausting. This entire spectrum of comparison is a symptom of a deluded state of being. This workshop explains that these feelings stem from mistakenly identifying ourselves with temporary and variable things: our body (रूप), our physical strength (बल), our position or post (पद), and our wealth (धन). Since these are all variable and can be compared, we are trapped in the endless loop of अधिमूल्यन (over-evaluation), अवमूल्यन (under-evaluation), and निर्मूल्यन (devaluation) of ourselves and others. हीनता (inferiority) is explicitly defined as a form of inhumane nature (अमानवीय स्वभाव) alongside helplessness (दीनता) and cruelty (क्रूरता). The way out is to shift our identity. What if you identified yourself not with these temporary attributes, but with your true self—the जीवन (consciousness)? The जीवन in every human being is fundamentally the same in its potential for understanding and happiness. When you see that every human has the same purpose and the same potential, the very basis for comparison dissolves.
