Humility

“The basic seeking power is humility… If you think you know
everything, you cannot humble down … and you cannot seek. Even if you
seek, you don’t want to follow anybody else’s path …you’ll do whatever
you want to do.”

“One thing is very important in your humility … you should be a
humble person … not think that you are something special … or some sort
of a self-important person… once you think you are important, then you
are not part and parcel of the whole… If you start thinking like that,
anywhere in your journey of Sahaja Yoga, then I must say that you are
not in the Sahaja Vasta, the Sahaja State.”

“Those who are humble can only become friendly with each other,
can share their problems with each other. So humility can only help you
to articulate, to have rapport with your friends. But humility should
not be sympathetic - it is a detached quality that does not get
attached to any person.”

“Only a person who is not guilty will be really humble, because
guilty people are aggressive … are sarcastic… A humble person is a free
person, free to be humble, to be kindly, to be gentle, to be compassionate
- that sort of Sahaja Yogis you have to be. When people
meet you they will be impressed. Humility doesn’t have any
subservience, and is very different to compassion. Humility is a very
human quality, is a special quality only the bhaktas have. It is such a
beautiful quality of taking the showers of bliss, and a person who
cannot take, is so lonely. Such a person cannot get companionship with anyone.”
