Inner truth: Humility Means Honesty

Humility really means honesty. Humility simply means being truthful. What do we have to brag about? If God does not make the sun rise what would you do? Did you create your brain? Did you create your eyes to see? Did you create your heart to beat? Did you create your arms to act? As they say in British parlours ‘Do not be proud of borrowed plumes.’

Whatever we have is not ours, we have the free will to use what God gives us either in a good way or an evil way or in a spiritual way, we have that free will and according to what we do and what we say the karma is going to come back on us but still all the facilities we have to either use properly or misuse is coming from a power way beyond our own. Even if you are young and strong but by the power of time, how long will you remain young and strong?  The body is under the control of nature, the mind is under the control of nature.

So humility really means to be honest.
