joy. It pleases others because it indicates respect for their personality but at the same time gives tenfold more joy to the giver.
Humility teaches us the true facts of life. All that we see is matter, and matter of which this world is made of is destructible. Why pride in them? No one can take anything with them when dead. Worldly treasures are here to stay but the treasures of the heart like love, compassion, appreciation, gratitude, humility ete. goes with the man when he leaves the world.
Here I remember an old Persian story. An old Persian King wanted to give a gift to his sixteen year old son on his birthday. He decided to give a gold ring inscribed with the words, "This too shall pass away." The Prince did not understand the implication behind these words. But he wore the ring and often thought about the inscription.
One day he went to war with his father. In the fight he was severely pierced by an arrow and lay in bed for weeks in great pain. At that time of agony he looked at the ring and remembered his father's meaningful gift and said to himself "this too shall pass away." These words brought comfort and solace to him.
Then one day when he got older he married a beautiful lady. He was very happy with her and the kind of life he was living. But amidst this joy and merriment he again remembered the inscription. "This too shall pass away," and reflected on the ephemeral (short-lived) nature of the worldly pleasures. He was crowned king after the death of his father. On his coronation day he looked in a mirror and said to himself, "Even this even this body of mine will pass away." And it did.

His last words before he died were: "Even this great empire which I so proudly rule will pass away. And it did. In this way he realized the short lived nature of glory. We all should get into the habit of repeating to ourself the words on the ring. This would help us to be humble and polite instead of arrogant and snobbish. out rav This story says that in life nothing is permanent. Then what are we boasting about? Even this body of ours will pass away. The only thing that is permanent is our soul, our Atma which resides in this body. So in joy or sorrow if we learn to be humble and polite the consciousness will not be bruised with pain or agony. grid of oven lead tuo ob lliw

Humility so often seems vaguely desirable but not really attractive. Because when we have money, power, talent, beauty, we like the world to know about it. We forget that in our exhibition of these things we belittle others and indirectly instil the feeling of inferiority and lowliness. Is this not violence? Injuring others feeling and self-worth is not himsa? This is no way of self-development. 1818000 19

Though humility seems spineless, incompatible with intellect and vigorous spirit, it is infact the reverse. The figures we commonly hail for their humility Mahavir, Buddha, Ram, Krishna, Jesus were never timid souls, but men of strong destiny with a firm determination to carry it out. Humility is not self-belittlement or undervaluing one's self, it is a tough, free, confident characteristic which results from self respect and respect for others.. It does not saturate a personality but flavours it.
