A very subtle desire remains...The desire to be perceived as the 'enlightened one'. This desire also seeks to perceive 'other people' as 'not liberated' and wishes to keep them there so that it can perceive itself as the 'liberated one'. Extremely subtle, it keeps one bound to personality. A spiritual ego or 'spiritual pride'...a most dangerous form of pride.
Ask yourself, 'who is this liberated one'? And what is this 'liberation' from?
The desire of being perceived as 'spiritually accomplished' seems to be a last resort for the personal pride to maintain itself. This personal pride MUST perceive 'others' as 'spiritually ignorant'. This is how it feeds itself.
When there is only awareness, who is accomplished and who is ignorant? The notion of 'someone is here' is just a notion. This personal pride is highly subtle. Its only objective is to maintain itself by feeding on the ignorance of 'others'. It is only this 'personal pride' that can have any objectives or aims. Awareness has no aims and no pride. The only purpose of relationship seems to maintain personal pride. Without relationship, it cannot survive.
Do not identify as this 'personal pride'. It's only companion is constant fear and anxiety and loneliness. This notion has kept you from realizing the truth.
Remember this "Spiritual pride is your biggest weakness". It is ultimately what leads to malice and envy.
