HUMILITY
Humility comes from understanding that the force behind whatever help
you give to others comes not from you but from the power of love. It is
not true that if you are humble others will walk all over you. It is when
there is no humility that you can be easily influenced by others and
things seem difficult. But when there is humility, there is also the power
of truth. You know internally that you will achieve your aim, regardless
of what others say or think. A humble person never feels they are
bowing to others. The head is neither held high, nor lowered-just
straight ahead, like an angel. Humility reveals your truth.
Ego makes you criticise others and get caught up in a web. Ego puts a
lock on the intellect, obscuring your own responsibility: it say, "It is
your fault, it has nothing to do with me." Humility is the key to this
lock. It frees you from self-deception. Humility allows you to hear and
obey your conscience. With humility there is the power of realisation,
which allows transformation to take place. The soul can recognise a
mistake in a second. It's easy to settle any argument easily-
"Ok, I'm wrong..."
Humility makes the heart honest, big and clean. It enables you to be
co-operative and have easy relationships with everyone. Humility
enables you to win God's heart, the hearts of others and even your own
heart! Inner conflict with your own feelings finishes, so confusion and
difficulties also end. There is contentment, faith and the feeling
of love of everyone.
