Humility
Don’t forget that you are just a trash can. So if by any chance the divine gardener
should lay his hands on you, and scrub and clean you, and fill you with magnificent
flowers, neither the scent nor the colors that beautify your ugliness should make you
proud.
Humble yourself: don’t you know that you are a trash can?
The day you see yourself as you are, you will think it natural to be despised by others.
It was because of pride. You thought you were already capable of everthing- all by yourself. But then he left you for a moment and you fell- headlong.
Be humble, and his extraordinary aid will not fail you.
When a man thinks too much of himself or of the beloved object, this imagination is pride, a kind of delirium. He dreams with his eyes open and can do all things his imagination allows, calling them reality and happy with them so long as he cannot imagine anything to exclude their existence and limit his power of action.
