More on humility
Worship means reverence and humility it means revering your real self and humbling delusions.
BodhidharmaBodhidharma Tibetans look at a person who holds himself above others, believing he is better than others and knows more, and they say that person is like someone sitting on a mountain top: it is cold there, it is hard, and nothing will grow. But if the person puts himself in a lower position, then that person is like a fertile field.
B. Alan WallaceB. Alan Wallace If you want God’s grace, all you need is need, all you need is nothing. But that kind of spiritual humility is hard to muster.
Timothy KellerTimothy Keller …the essence of gospel-humility is not thinking more of myself or thinking less of myself, it is thinking of myself less.
