Being able to mold ourselves in
any situation, from an internal state without ego, indicates an inner strength
based on understanding and love. In fact, true humility is not possible without
spiritual love. The thought ‘I did this. I'm good' can be the door through which
many obstacles come. Ego is the seed of obstacles, is to count the virtues of
self and the weaknesses of others. The thought 'I am an instrument of good to
do good' can close that door forever.
Humility allows the existence of
other people in the plenitude of their virtues or the emptiness of their weaknesses,
without either jealousy for their strengths or judgement of their weaknesses.
Each individual is unique. The
state of humility is shown by a tree with its branches so full of fruit that they
almost touch the ground.
Humility does not mean being
submissive because of lack of respect for yourself, but it means to be so sure
of your own spiritual attainments that it costs nothing to bow. One can still
be like a lion yet recognise the value of others and life. It is the other side
of the coin of self-respect.
A truly humble person puts out
the fire of the anger of others.
