Humility

Q: What is the right and the wrong way of being humble?
It is very simple, when people are told “be humble”, they think im-
mediately of “being humble before other men” and that humility
is wrong. True humility is humility before the Divine, that is, a pre-
cise, exact, living sense that one is nothing, one can do nothing,
understand nothing without the Divine, that even if one is excep-
tionally intelligent and capable, this is nothing in comparison with
the divine Consciousness, and this sense one must always keep,
because then one always has the true attitude of receptivity — a
humble receptivity that does not put personal pretensions in op-
position to the Divine.
