Humility is the sign of True Knowledge

Life a seed buried in earth to sprout into a tree,a human being must be modest and humblein order to grow spiritually. Nothing is gained by egotistical confrontations,feeling important, thinking we know everything,have nothing to learn and can defeat any argument. Only after we ourselves have become goodare we in a positionto give advice to others. Pride and selfishness will destroy us,but if we feel love and compassion as if we areeveryone's servant, the whole universe will bow down. Rain upon the mountain streams downhillpooling in the ravine at the bottom.So great is humility, everything rushes toward it. In asking for surrender - total surrender -to the supreme Self, spiritualityshows us the way to lasting happiness. Surrender to the Supremeis the only guarantee of safetyand the only way to bliss. When huge trees are uprooted by a cycloneand tall buildings collapse, the grass remainsunscathed - such is the greatness of humility. take it to be Divine will,and there will beno problem. When we offer ourselves to the Divine,our minds are purified, sorrows end,and life becomes a festival. ♥Amma ♥ Mata Amritananda Mayi
