“Completion with yourself raises you to the level of Enlightenment and liberates you from the cognition of comparing yourself with others and keeping yourself in a very low level.”

One of the natural tendencies for you is comparing yourself with others. And, whether you compare yourself with the people whom you think higher than you or whom you think lower than you, you are going to fall into the space of powerlessness. Whether you think there are some people who are higher than you and you compare with them or lower than you and compare with them, both ways you will fall into powerlessness.

If you compare yourself with the people
whom you think higher than you, you
will fall into the powerless space of
guilt, giving up on you, the idea you
are not worthy enough; you will fall
into all these powerless spaces.

If you compare yourself with people
whom you think who are lower than
you, again you will fall into the
superiority complex, arrogance, which
is also a powerlessness.
