"My destiny was to be born a simple man,
a commoner, a tradesman,
with little formal education."
Those words resonate with me.
As also Anandamayi Ma when she said,
"I am a very ordinary person."
Those words settle me in my depths.
Recently, someone told me, "You channel, that is a big thing."
My response was, what is so big about that?
Humility is truth.
That is why saints and sages are so humble.
They, better than any others, are well aware who and what they are.
And what they have, are from the Divine.
From the same source which all of us have.
My spirit team: could you tell us something about humility?
Humility, simplicity, those are trademarks of saints, and sages.
What is humility?
Humility is that knowing of one's true nature.
Humility is where there is no illusion about oneself.
When one knows oneself through and through.
For the very nature of humankind is,
not that you are born in sin as some are taught.
But that none of you are perfect.
As humankind, you are all subjected to emotions,
of anger, hate, jealousy, etc.
How they overcome them, is a trademark of saints, sages.
It is what keeps them in their center, in their inner knowing of themselves.
That it is not they who achieve it but the Divine in them.
The Divine is the driving force in them.
The Divine is a source in all of you.
It is your innate being.
However, born into planet earth with the veil of unknowing,
many are you who are not aware of this inner riches.
Many are you who live in poverty or dire poverty,
unaware of the existence of these inner riches.
By that we are not talking about material wealth.
The richest man in material wealth might be the one in dire poverty,
where their inner being is concerned.
Material gains and pursuit blind them to their true being.
Those with awareness of it are those with truest riches.
These inner riches often lay dormant,
unplumbed and unclaimed.
Until something triggered their awakening.
It could be something in nature.
One could be unaware, standing in the midst of nature.
When suddenly, something struck a core in them.
Nature came alive for them.
They found themselves viewing it like 3D,
able to see what is not there.
Able to see beyond what is there.
Such are moments of awakenings.
Or by life's ordeal.
Where in extreme darkness,
Where in the midst of hardship, sorrow, and despair,
They see the light.
Or by sensing the "something" beyond.
They have everything in life,
yet their souls are restless, craving for something.
For something they do not know what,
but know they are craving for.
This leads them to seek and find that higher source.
Which is outside of them and inside of them.
That Divine Source.
Once the Divine Source takes over,
as in the case of saints and sages,
they are powered by something within.
They know it, they feel it, they are fully aware of it.
That it is not them but that something in them.
Once the Divine Source takes over,
they are in truth.
They have reached that stage,
where nothing matters to them or is important to them,
but that source within.
Tell them they are great,
they would smile and thank you.
But such compliments mean little to them.
They have gone beyond such human caring.
Tell them you want to seek the beyond.
Now, that means something to them.
That is their life.
That is why they are humble.
Why humility is the hallmark of saints and sages.
Come across one who is not,
and you know they have not reached.
that stage of holiness.
Where their ego are dissolved into nothingness,
and only the Divine remains.
