HUMILITY....THE MOTHER OF GIANTS



In Generosity and Helping others ......Be like a RIVER

In Compassion and Grace......Be like the SUN

In Concealing others Faults......Be like the NIGHT

In Anger and Fury......Be as if you have DIED

In Modesty and Humility......Be like the EARTH

In Tolerance........Be like the SEA

AND

Either Appear as you are or....Be as you Appear

                                                         - Rumi 

The tree that has the most fruit is the tree that bends to the ground...goes a famous saying which means that the people who are knowledgeable....have  achieved the most and are experienced are the people who are closest to the ground....In one word " HUMBLE ".

Sadly !!!! The trouble is that we have a very wrong notion of "HUMILITY".... We generally associate it with timidity,Self effervescent and lowliness in it's Worst Sense !! This is not True!! A meaningful life is not being rich....highly educated....popular or being perfect but being Humble.....Strong......being able to respect others and remind us that there's so much for us to learn and share. It's said that it was pride that changed Angels into Devils....It's Humility that makes Men as Angels.Humility diminishes and replaces aggression......anger.... assertiveness...... arrogance....manipulation etc. with forgiveness......kindness... acceptance.....empathy etc. People who are Humble feels calm...patient....... giving....happier and their outlook t existence slowly changes to one of Harmony and Enthusiastic. Being Humble isn't denying your strengths but it's being honest about weaknesses.

" The Armour of Self Restraint,Truth,Contentment and Humility
 can never be pierced ."
                                           -Guru Granth Sahib

HOLD STRONG TO YOUR CONVICTIONS
REMAIN HUMBLE IN YOUR SPEECH
LET YOUR ACTIONS TELL YOUR STORY

"Jyoti"
