(Master Jun Hong Lu’s call-in radio program)
*ARROGANT PEOPLE COULD, AT BEST, ONLY ASCEND TO THE ASURA REALM*
Caller: Nowadays, there are many people who are outright arrogant, and yet, completely unaware nor realise that they are displaying such an attitude. If you observe closely, you will notice that these people have an exaggerated sense of self-love, selfishness and are unable to accept critical feedback.
Not acknowledging or eradicating this bad attitude and yet, are unwilling to let go of selfishness and the notion of self, would only impede your spiritual cultivation, let alone cultivating a heart of gratitude and compassion. Master, can you enlighten us on this.
Master Jun Hong Lu:
Firstly, the highest realm an arrogant person could ascend to, is the Asura realm. They will not be able to attain any higher, not even the Heaven realm. Secondly, such an attitude develops after a prolonged period of sticking to one’s bad habits. Therefore, you have to strive to overcome your ignorance, because a person’s sense of superiority is attributable to his ignorance. A successful person, on the other hand, will always be receptive to others’ opinions.
You have seen how I educate my disciples by deliberately helping them to overcome arrogance? I would intentionally reprimand them before others till they let go of the attachment to ‘self’. In doing so, they are free from all possible elements that can cause them harm.Many people are highly egoistic. They would feel embarrassed by my remarks and would hope for a hole where they could bury their heads in. Let me tell you, these are all due to ignorance.
We came into this world with nothing, so what ego are you trying to defend? If you think so highly of yourself, why don’t you make an attempt to transcend the cycle of rebirth. What ego have you got when you even went to the extent of picking up human faecal to eat when you were little? As you grow older, you realise that everything in this world is false, empty and illusory.
I want you to know that your purpose in the human realm is to practise spiritual cultivation, and seize the occasion to cultivate your Buddha nature in this impermanent world. What do you own? As the saying goes, “While the Great Wall still exists today, long gone is the first Emperor of the Qin Dynasty.”
