Humility is practical application of knowledge.
I am for God, I am the lover of God, I am loved by God, I am the servant of God, I am the servant of the servant of God, and I am the well-wishing instrument of God's love towards every living being, with all humility. The emergence of that realization is the greatest attainment in life.
Through the practice of devotion to God, I was coming to learn that preserving loving relations in this world required much forgiveness, tolerance, patience, gratitude, and humility. An essential virtue of humility is to accept others for what they are, despite differences. I contemplated again how the tendency to judge others is often a symptom of insecurity, immaturity, or selfishness, and I yearned to rise above it. Everyone is a child of God. God loves all of His children. If I wish to love God, I must learn to love those whom He loves.
You can think your self to be great, you can go on thinking your self to be great, till you see all fellow devotees going Back Home Back to Godhead, while you remain in this material world only.
If we are truly humble , we will co-operate.
If somebody praises us and if we have any humility we will feel totally like a fool.
Humility is the foundation by which love manifests.
What touches our hearts and impresses us deeper is sacrifice and humility, when we see someone accept the higher principle of cooperation, putting aside his/her own achievements.
Whoever we are, wherever we are, however we are, whatever our condition is, there is no impediment to attaining the perfection of life-if we are humble & sincere.
To protect any community, we need intelligence and to nourish it we need humility.
The transcendental knowledge of devotional service is digested by the engyme of humility.
Krishna exalts those who are humble and humbles those who exalt themselves.
Fierce Determination and Gentle Humility are the ornaments which make one attractive in the eyes of the Lord.
"I had Krishna and I have lost Him." That is humility.
