The Vedic scriptures
greatly expound humility as the only way to succeed in true devotion to God.
The lives of great
Indian Saints are the ultimate examples of this concept. 500 years ago,
Chaitanya Mahaprabhu instructed us to be humbler than a blade of grass.
The Bible has more than twenty verses about humility while the Quran has more than a dozen.
If all the scriptures
discuss humility, the questions that naturally arise are:
what exactly is humility? How can we identify it? Why is it important and how can we practice it?
Humility is being
Calm, Cheerful and Confident at all times in our life.
Be like a Stitapragna
treating the pair of opposites alike and accepting the experience as Bhagavan's
prasada
Lead a simple Satvic
life even when you go higher up in the ladder of your career or life
Be aware of what you
are aware of.
There are many more
explanations which you can get to know from the Scriptures.
