Q: How to keep a check on my arrogance when I feel successful and happy? What are the other ways to calm the mind and make it happy, other than meditation?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Arrogant people are somewhere insecure. They don’t have enough knowledge. But when the context of your life expands, when it changes, then where is the place for arrogance? Once you see life from a holistic perspective, there is no arrogance.
Billions of people have come here and they’ve all died and gone, more people will come. What’s the big thing that you have done to be so arrogant? You’re going to go into the same mud like everybody. I think you are not aware that you are going to die. You should take a walk in the cemetery and know that this is where you are going to be one day.
No arrogance can stay on. Humility, a sense of belongingness is an automatic phenomenon. It is a simple awareness of our life. You don’t have to do something to make it happen.
