As soon as a chance arises for its exhibition, it will raise its hood. So the Sadhaka has to be ever vigilant. Such persons must cultivate a humble, loving spirit. Then the bad traits will disappear. Some Sadhakas become very angry when someone discovers and announces to them the bad traits they possess.
Pride prevents the inward look and confuses the examination of the mind.
When the Sadhaka is desirous of achieving success, he must bow down to those who point out his faults. That is the way to progress quick and fast in the path of Dhyanam. And he must endeavour not to entertain the faults any longer.
