What is humility? Humility is THE spiritual principle we need first to move forward into inner peace and happiness. Without humility we are deprived of the the ability to learn: we cannot learn anything on any subject if we not humble, this is a fact.
Humility gives us the opportunity to look and accept the truth about ourselves.
Sometimes when I speak to people and I ask them to be honest, some of them get offended because they assume I am saying they are dishonest and since they do not believe or cannot accept of being dishonest they get offended and sometimes stop communication. They have lost their humbleness out of fear.
This lack of humbleness, is connected to the lack of accepting the truth about our nature as human beings. One of our biggest characteristics as human beings is that we live in fear (at some level we are all affected by it).
This is true even if you've stopped taking decisions based on fear (as I did, but this does not mean I do not feel fear sometimes, I've just decided not to act on it but to feel the feelings connected to that fear and by doing so releasing the error from my soul and accept the new truth).
When I speak with someone and they ask me to help them to overcome some limits in their understanding of themselves, and I ask them what is stopping them to understand were that limit comes from, most of the time, it they are able to accept that the limit is due to themselves and they do not impute it to the external world (this is a first step on honesty) they will say that the limit comes from fear (if they can come in contact with that fear, otherwise they will say that they do not know why they have that limit).
Fear comes from a misunderstanding of the reality of the Nature of our Universe, of the Laws that governs our Universe. We would not feel fearful if we knew that we feel fear every time we are disconnected from our soul, we have lost faith and that we have to feel that fear and the feeling associated with it to grow in Love.
When we are fearful we act dishonestly because we feel we have to protect ourselves and our reality and this becomes our first priority. So when someone tells me that they are in fear I know that they are being dishonest.
I feel a lot of empathy for people in fear. I have been there too so there is no judgement. We cannot judge someone for being human. So we cannot judge and if and when we do so we put ourselves above someone else, and in doing so we lose our humility.
The ability to be humble, being a spiritual principle, comes from our development of our soul and the application of spiritual principles like humbleness is fundamental.
