Humble.

A Lesson in Humbleness.

There are moments in life when the soul pauses — when all our noise, pride, and striving fall silent before something greater. In that silence, we discover humbleness. It is not a weakness or self-effacement, but a recognition of truth — that behind every action, every success, and every breath flows the energy of the Divine.

 Thou art That. We are not separate from the vast consciousness that moves the stars and stirs the human heart. Yet, we often live as if we alone are the doers, forgetting that the same divine rhythm breathes through all. When this veil lifts, humility dawns — not as submission, but as awakening.

Humbleness comes when we realize our part in the greater cosmic order, the ṛta. The farmer who bows before his field, the student before knowledge, the devotee before the altar — all acknowledge this truth: we are instruments, not the source. The river flows because of the unseen rains, the rains fall because of the silent clouds, and the clouds gather by laws beyond human making.

True humility softens the heart and clears the mind. It allows us to see divinity in others, to respect life in all forms, and to serve without pride. The action without attachment, guided by awareness and grace.

To be humble, then, is to live in tune with the Divine. It is to bow not out of fear, but out of love to recognize that the light we carry is not ours alone, but a reflection of the Eternal within.

A Lesson in Humbleness

Before the dawn, the stars must fade,

Before the truth, the self must bow.

The heart that sheds its pride is made

To see what eyes can’t see — just now.

The river hums a quiet song,

“I flow, but He decides my way.”

The mountain stands — yet all along,

It bends to clouds that softly stay.

The saint and sage, the child and tree,

Each mirror back the One Divine.

Humility — the key, the plea,

That makes the mortal soul align.

So when you rise, remember still —

The Source is vast, your role a part.

The truest height is found when will

Bows low before the Lord in heart.
