The Danger of Vanity

BTL Volume 10 – Instruction 295: 18–19
18. Disciple: When a person possesses true knowledge of the deeds he has done, he does not allow himself to be blinded by vanity. He knows that—should this base emotion penetrate his being—his intellect would become clouded and he would no longer be able to progress on the path of development; he would come to a standstill and sink into lethargy.
19. Vanity has prepared the ruin of many people, destroyed many flourishing nations, and brought your cultures to ruin.
TTT 28: 64 ff
64. No mortal can imagine the full solemnity of that moment which you must all experience in order to recognize the good within yourselves—so as to preserve it—and also to discern what you must cast aside, for you may no longer hold it in your soul.
65. When the soul then feels that it is confronted with its conscience, and the conscience reminds it with the clarity of truth, that being feels too weak to listen to itself; it wishes it had never existed; for in a single moment, its entire life flashes before its consciousness—the life it left behind, the life it possessed and called its own, and for which it must now finally give an account.
66. Disciples, people, prepare yourselves already in this life for that moment, so that you do not turn that temple into a tribunal when your soul appears at the threshold of the Temple of the Spirit; for the spiritual pain will then be so great that no physical pain could compare to it.
67. I want you to reflect on everything I have told you in this Instruction, so that you may understand how your judgment takes place in the spiritual realm. Thus, you must banish from your imagination that image in which you envision a court of judgment presided over by God in the form of an old man, who allows the good children to pass to His right to enjoy Heaven, and who places the wicked to His left to condemn them to eternal punishment.
