false pride, one of the five evils a human can fall into. Pride in one's possessions, intelligence, power or wealth takes one away from God and gives a false sense of superiority over others.

Ahankar is the Gurmukhi word which translates to means ego or excessive pride due to one's possessions, material wealth, intelligence or powers. It gives an individual the feeling that he is superior to others and therefore they are at a lower level than him. It leads to envy, feelings of enmity, and restlessness amongst people.
