Santokhi and Ahankaar


Recommended Posts

This is something that bugged me for a while. 

This more related to a personal characteristics than something Panth related or Sangat related.

I was watching the Netflix show "The Last Dance". It was about the Chicago Bulls basketball team in the 90's and Michael Jordan.

In my view, he is the greatest basketball player of all time.

But I don't think I would like him as a person because he has too much Ahankaar. 

He was uber-competitive and was quite a bully at times. 

I have seen a lot of this type of personality in people who are very ambitious and driven. 

After winning 6 NBA championships he wasn't satisfied (this is after more than 20 years retirement ), he thinks he could have won more. 

This man is worth more than 2 billion dollars and he does not seem to have any Santokhi whatsoever. 

I have thought about, it is that most sportspeople are very competitive and driven. Is the fact that having some Ahankaar is good for you. I don't think that Michael Jordan would be half as successful without it.

Does having too much Santokhi make you complacent?
