Humility

[Guest guest]

There is a beautiful story told of the King Akbar that when he was grieving with an almost ungovernable grief over the death of his mother, his ministers and friends tried to comfort him by influence and power. Akbar replied, "Yes, that is true, and that only makes my grief greater; for while I have everyone to bow before me, to give way to me, to salute me and obey me, my mother was the one person before whom I could humble myself; and I cannot tell you how great a joy that was to me."Think, then, of the far greater joy of humbling one-self before the Father-Mother God on Whose Love one can always depend.

A spark only of love expresses itself in the human father and mother; the Whole of Love in God.

In whatever manner I may humble myself it can never be enough to express the humility of the limited self before Limitless Perfection
