Comment: You say that pride throws a person away from spirituality. Two or three times, he is given a chance, and then he is either discarded or enters. But pride is not under a person’s control.

My Response: It means we need to work on it. How it will work out is another matter.

When you work on yourself, you begin to understand that pride is not under your control, but what is, is that you can start screaming to be saved from it.

99% of people drop out from Kabbalah because of pride because it is the only factor that prevents them from advancing.

Pride is the inability of a person to bend his head before others, to make himself nothing, and to do what is indicated. Despite the fact that you do not want to, cannot force yourself, and have excuses, you still have to do everything through “I cannot,” and approach people whom you are unable to approach, and from whom you are repelled. Meaning, all your egoism, your feelings, and views crumple up like a piece of paper.
