Pride Increases Fear Through Karma - (742)

Introduction

The consequences of identification with pride are varied but one definite one is an increase in the strength of the general fear that we have, and this often goes unnoticed. Notice that the people who have a lot of pride also have a lot of fear. If for example we jolt people, are rude and insulting we end up fearing social engagements and activities especially where there are people present who may not like us or maybe rude with us just as we have been rude with them or others.

This post is dedicated to explain why pride increases fear.


Why?

Because pride causes one to make errors with something very important, fundamental, deep, innate and intrinsic within our physical, psychological and spiritual nature, and something is fairness and balance.

When we act unfairly or unjustly we affect that very intrinsic balance within us and the results of having that inner scale affected of course has varied effects but the common one is a kind of separation, rebellion and regret in our three natures, physical, psychological and spiritual.


We often with pride we try to correct something that we see as unfair but we do the unfair thing and hurt others or treat them unfairly.

That separation is a kind of distance from the balance and harmony within ourselves, which most certainly includes our Being, and that separation is a kind of unbalance and of course to get back to balance we have to make some efforts or if we do not make those efforts voluntarily we incur and debt that will at some time be collected from us. In other words pride increases our karma and karma in turn increases our fear.


Why Karma Causes Fear

We have fear from karma because we instinctively know that karmic debts will be collected at some time in the future. That unknown time is one cause of fear and the idea that paying the karmic debt will cause us pain is the other.

So because pride causes karmic debt we get a little more fearful because deep down and instinctively we know we have erred and that error will cost us. This principle applies to any other ego that generates karma.
