Humility

Life situations  or contemplation or meditative practices creates self-awareness. Awareness is the path to humility. Humility keeps pride, arrogance,illusion, and superiority complex in check. The other side of humility is self-acceptance.  

Without self-acceptance , awareness only takes the swing to and fro feelings of superiority and inferiority. Only when awareness and acceptance are integrated there can be peace, calmness,balance, and stillness. Humility begis here.

Self expression, authenticity, compassion begins only when self awareness merges with self Acceptance. From this state of humility life becomes a song rendered to the Divine.
