If one maintains this proud mentality, he cannot advance in spiritual life. Lord Caitanya does not like pride; He is not attracted to this quality. He is attracted to real humility—not false humility. When devotees genuinely feel themselves fallen, it is usually by always looking for the good qualities in others and speaking about them—glorifying the devotees.It is not artificial because they genuinely know how to see good qualities in others; that is their vision.
