Low self-esteem and a big ego are two sides of the same coin.
Mike Tyson saw it— there was "Iron Mike," the undefeatable persona
built for the ring. And then there was the real confused person
underneath. The ego can get you to your destination, but it's going
to collapse. The teaching of bhakti goes deeper: play your role —
boxer, mother, teacher, father — play it as well as it can be
played. But never mistake the role for who you are. You have a true
spiritual existence beyond it. In this episode Raghunath and
Kaustubha explore that alongside Canto Ten, Chapter Thirty-Seven —
where Keśī, the horse demon, beautiful and powerful and prideful,
charges into Vrindavan. Pride always meets its match. And as Mike
said “Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the
mouth.”
