I hate egotism with an utter hatred.
It is not awakened within me from the aspect of the essence of my character and nature.
All of my aspects that are negative stand before me always deeply revealed.
Only external states of being—mingling with people, the need to diminish the soul for the sake of the communal life needs of the masses, arouse the repulsive character of pride, which I must take some part of for the purpose of leading, and must sometimes use it to diminish the supernal light, when it grows too overwhelming for the weak body to receive.
But it is in essence disgraceful. And the ugliness and falsehood within it are clearly recognizable to me.
Chadarav, pp. 147-149
