In meditation the mind stops, thought ceases. When thought stops, the world stops. When the world stops, perception stops. When perception stops, the sense of "I" as a perceiver falls away.
Meditation is humility - the absence of thought, doubt, and ego.
It's an exciting adventure to give those things that you've always held onto.
Humility means realizing that it's fun to give everything away, particularly the things that you are most attached to.
Humility can give everything to God. Everything comes from the source, everything returns to the source.
Let someone else take your place in line, Let someone else be first. Let someone else achieve realization before you.
Whenever anybody does well spiritually, I usually ignore them. It's the greatest compliment I can pay them.
Everyone will admire you when you do well. What a horrible thing to do to someone.
The ego seeks fame and fortune. Humility doesn't seek at all - it accepts.
Ego synthesized is selfhood, the sense of self-importance, that you really matter ... nothing could be further from the truth.
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.
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.
Only the ego can fear, experience hate, lust and jealousy. Humility experiences none of these things - it merges into the transcendental awareness of perfection.
The fact that you see a manifold world with different times, places and conditions -this exists only because of a lack of humility.
Humility means freedom. It provides growth and takes you out of the cycle of change that you are currently in, which is stagnation.
I must play my role, great or small - that is humility, without self-importance, without self-indulgence.
Humility is courage, the open acceptance of your own perfection.
Humility means coming to the root of the matter, honestly looking at yourself and saying: "This is me for better or for worse."
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.
Have a healthy respect and love for yourself, but don't be taken out by your ego.
Humility accepts the very nature of a human being is complete, unadulterated, ecstatic joy.
"The person next to me meditates better than I do. They're purer." - This is the ego feeling sorry for itself.
We prefer humility in others - and if we prefer it in others - we can soon prefer it in ourselves.
Your life is pure joy, pure ecstasy, when you live in humility.
Humility is the time that you spend in love with existence.
