Is It My Brain Or Nafs?
During my childhood, I developed arrogant reaction to whoever frustrated/bullied me to a certain point. Over the years, this turned into a belief and thus I had arrogance inside my heart. But then I changed my belief and neither do I think of others as lowly nor do I stand against the truth.
The problem is, whenever I am frustrated to a certain point, the same feelings come up that I used to have as a child however, I believe against them and work against them and let go of those feelings. But I am worried it is still in my nafs and not gone even though my belief is changed. Or is this just my brain?
If I have changed my belief am I still sinful for having this?

This is the conflict of evil and good for which we are created to choose the good and thus be rewarded. The evil and good are in our Nafs, and then the brain works accordingly. Rousing of such feelings never stops but fades away with the passage of time if we work on it consistently. To end these feelings is not possible nor required. All we have to do is to make a decision is favour of piety and good.
