A Little Arrogance

The sages said about arrogance, "Damned is the one who has it, and damned is the one who does not."

Arrogance makes a man into an idol. But without it, how can he change the world?

Our conscious mind must know it is nothing, and the power G-d has placed in our heart may then burst forth.

The sages say that a man is a world .
so you mean to say that how can a man change himself without a little arrogance.
