Have a healthy respect and love for yourself, but don't be taken out by your ego.
Practice humility constantly. Whenever you start to think well of yourself, push those thoughts aside. Whenever you think ill of yourself, push those thoughts aside.
Humility means coming to the root of the matter, honestly looking at yourself and saying: "This is me for better or for worse."
Humility feels that there is someone, somewhere who can do anything I can do better - except one thing: no one can be better at being me.
Humility is courage, the open acceptance of your own perfection.
Humility is the conscious awareness and acceptance of eternity as your body.
I must play my role, great or small - that is humility, without self-importance, without self-indulgence.
We're blind, deaf and dumb. It is only that Self, which is our life force that makes who and what we are. The realization of that is self-realization.
Humility means freedom. It provides growth and takes you out of the cycle of change that you are currently in, which is stagnation.
The fact that you see a manifold world with different times, places and conditions -this exists only because of a lack of humility.
Only the ego can fear, experience hate, lust and jealousy. Humility experiences none of these things - it merges into the transcendental awareness of perfection.
It's very easy for us to be humble when no one else is around. There is no reason for us to demonstrate our superiority, because no one challenges it.
When we interact with others the ego manifests. We have to show that we're superior or that we know more, are more spiritual, evolved - or that we're the worst, everyone is better.
You can be in a crowd full of friends and be miserable because you're alienated. The ego alienates.
Ego synthesized is selfhood, the sense of self-importance, that you really matter ... nothing could be further from the truth.
The ego seeks fame and fortune. Humility doesn't seek at all - it accepts.
Everyone will admire you when you do well. What a horrible thing to do to someone.
Whenever anybody does well spiritually, I usually ignore them. It's the greatest compliment I can pay them.
When you realize that the ego is making you miserable you don't identify with it. You identify with your soul's humility and the ego dissolves.
People who are humble don't talk too much; they listen.
Let someone else take your place in line, Let someone else be first. Let someone else achieve realization before you.
Real humility is something that no one else will see. No one will know about your humility, if it's real.
Humility can give everything to God. Everything comes from the source, everything returns to the source.
Humility means realizing that it's fun to give everything away, particularly the things that you are most attached to.
It's an exciting adventure to give those things that you've always held onto.
