Srimad Bhagavadgita Sadhaka Sanjivani -Swami Ramsukhdas
Chapter 16
Abhimanah:- A man, has pride because of his 'egoism'. A person may regard himself superior and exalted, because of superiority of his physical (gross), subtle and causal bodies. He regards himself superior, to others, because of his high caste, high social order (Asrama), learning, influence and accomplishment, (Siddhis such as Anima, Mahima and Garima etc.). Because of this egoism (pride),[1] he thinks he can put the entire world upside down.
