“Humility
Knows the art
Of pleasing
Every heart.”
Sri Chinmoy, 1
“When we become really humble, we offer more of our capacity, divinity and reality. Only by becoming humble can we become what we truly are. We become of greater use, of greater help to mankind.”
Sri Chinmoy, 2
“Humility is not a matter of touching the feet of somebody, no. It is something that has to be shared with the rest of the world. It is the God-life within us. The higher we go, the greater is our promise to the Supreme in mankind. The more light we receive by virtue of our humility, the more we have to offer to mankind.”
Sri Chinmoy, 2
“When you feel humble, you feel that your body, vital and mind are responding to your soul’s dictates.”

And assume
That you already know
What you need to know.”

Soulfully follows
Happiness.Happiness
Unconditionally follows
Humility.”

“One who knows the meaning of humility is truly divine. Humility is not a sign of cowardice. Humility does not mean false modesty. Humility is true divinity. It is the inner being that sustains, supports, guides, moulds and shapes us, but it does so with all humility. The inner being sees us through the eyes of constant humility.”
Sri Chinmoy, 2
“Humility
Is
An extraordinary achievement.”

Is a very special
And rare achievement.”

The moment we become
Proud of it.”

Sri Chinmoy, 12
“A life of humility
Is the abode
Of teeming virtues.”
Sri Chinmoy, 13
“One who knows the meaning of humility is truly divine. Humility is not a sign of cowardice. Humility does not mean false modesty. Humility is true divinity. It is the inner being that sustains, supports, guides, moulds and shapes us, but it does so with all humility.”

In every walk of life.”

How to appreciate and admire
The good qualities of others.”

“I must learn
Without fail
The art of humility.”
Sri Chinmoy, 19
“When we are humble, we become totally one with the standard of the people around us. It is not through humiliation, but through illumination, meditation, concern and divinely fulfilling compassion that we come down to their level. God does it and spiritual people also do it because that is the only way to be inseparably one with others on their own level.”
Sri Chinmoy, 20
“Humility is always good, because in humility we consciously expand our consciousness and become one with God and with mankind. But if we have a feeling of unworthiness, then we are only going farther and farther from the Light and from the Source. Why should we feel unworthy? There is no reason. Only we have to aspire with humility.”
Sri Chinmoy, 20
“God in His highest and in His deepest quality is humility. If we ask why God is so great, the immediate answer is that God is great just because He is soulfully humble. God is omniscient and omnipotent, but all His divine qualities are housed in one divine quality of His, and that is His humility. If God had only played the part of the omnipotent God, then we would have made little progress by this time. But He comes to us as a sincere beggar in all humility just to awaken us from our self-chosen sleep.”
Sri Chinmoy, 22
