Radhanath Swami. The journey home (№ 283450)

Humility does not mean a cowardly escape from the problems of real life. On the contrary, true humility is meant to help to mobilize all their forces, to overcome any difficulties without compromising their ideals without losing their respect, gratitude and love, and thus become, as it can be an instrument of God. In this humility the greatness of much more than our sad need to put themselves above others. Humility protects us from the arrogance and contemptuous attitude to those we used to consider inferior. It also protects us from the envy of those who are in fact superior to us. A humble person not taking any credit for all his achievements, he thanked God and those who received support. A humble heart makes it easy to admit their mistakes and opens the heart to a new. Cultivating humility, we do not destroy our "I", always radiating the love of God and all of creation.
