In this episode, spiritual director John Bruna continues to offer his commentary on the text “How to Meditate on the Stages of the Path” by discussing arrogance, which is one of the six root mental afflictions. The group considers various ways arrogance can separate us from others and lead to suffering, and the important distinction is made between genuine self-worth and deluded arrogance or pride.
