'myness', as garva. What is the definition of ahamkar ego, what is abhiman, what is maan pride, what is garva and what is tumakhi?
Questioner : What is the meaning of khumari extra pride with 'myness'?
Dadashri: Khumari is a kind of abhiman - pride. Then there is the word ghamandi! A ghamandi is someone who has no substance but will make claims such as 'I can defeat even the lawyer's father! You should realize that he is a ghamandi - a fake show-off. There are all kinds of people with all kinds of baggage. Then a machharayelo - whose bit is a like a mostiquito and will sting. Some will say that man has a ghemraji'. These are all different phases of pride and that is why they have been given different names.
Questioner: But all these different phases of pride such as abhimaan, ghamand etc., do they not manifest after a certain age? A young child does not have any of these kashayas.
Dadashri: A child does not have them at all. But as the intellect increases, these kashayas and its consequent troubles will start to increase
too.
So the phases of these words are very large. It is very difficult to understand the phases. You can only know them from a Gnani Purush.
Questioner: Please explain them individually?
Dadashri: If you call out to a laborer passing by, 'Hey you! what is your name?' he will reply, 'Lalvo'. Now he did not call himself 'Lallubhai', so you should realize that he has his ego ahamkar only.
If he says, 'Lallubhai', you should realize that the maani also giving company.
If he answers, 'I am Lallubhai, the lawyer, did you not recognize me?' you can say he also has abhimaan - pride with ‘myness'.
So these are all its traits.
