Summary

This quote suggests that pride obstructs our ability to connect with a higher power or understand God. Pride keeps us in a mindset of superiority, causing us to look down upon others and dismiss the possibility of something greater than ourselves. By constantly looking down, we miss the opportunity to perceive what is above us, which may include spiritual enlightenment or a deeper connection with God. To truly know and experience the divine, the quote implies that we must let go of pride and approach life with humility and openness.
