From the Shiur:
Chometz: Moving Beyond Self
Teacher: Rebbetzin Tziporah Heller Class: Jewish Calendar III (Pesach-Shavuot)
Chometz of the soul is Gaivah- hautiness. When we get rid of the Chometz we have to clean out the hautiness from our souls. We get rid of the Chometz by burning it. How do we get rid of the hautiness from our souls? How do we tell the difference between high self esteem and huatiness? Hautiness is thinking, "I did it", positive self esteem is knowing that Hashem gives us talents to use.
Our passion for Hashem is like a fire, we have to let this fire burn up our internal chometz. If we do this we will find that our Pesach preparations will be a tikun of our inner self.
