Many people growing up being told to take pride or shame in what they
do/don't do, what they eat/don't eat, what they achieve/don't achieve,
how they look and conduct, what and who they think and believe and
identify as 'who I am' of a personal and community identity, taking
pride/shame in 'I', 'family', 'siblings', 'parenting', 'children',
'friends', 'school', 'social circle', 'career', 'nationality',
'race/tribe', 'culture', 'religion', 'spirituality', 'belief',
'political view', 'the actions and the result of
actions', 'social status', 'financial status', 'possession', 'the sense
of belonging', 'the sense of meaningfulness', 'the sense of
achievement', 'social activity/contribution', 'recognition',
'appreciation', 'acknowledgement', 'qualification', 'certification',
'title', 'talent', 'skill', 'profession', 'knowledge', 'intelligence',
'righteousness', 'appearance', 'charisma', 'personality', 'life style',
'food choices', 'aspiration', and so on.
The basic yoga practice is to let go and be free from that.
There's neither pride nor shame.
All is impermanent and selfless.
This is true renunciation - Renouncing the ego and egoism.
There won't be any personal/family/relationship/social/national/racial/religious/global issue that relates to self-esteem, pride and arrogance deriving from the ego and egoism.
The world could have more egoless human beings.
