Page 2 - Sri Aurobindo on Humility

Human nature is shot through in all its stuff with the

threads of the ego. Even when one tries to get away

from it, it is in front or walks behind all the thoughts

and actions like one’s shadow.

To see that is the first step—to discern the falsity and

absurdity of the ego movements is the second—to

discourage and refuse it at every step is the third—but

it goes entirely only when one sees, experiences and

lives the One in everything and equally everywhere.

~ Sri Aurobindo, CWSA, 31: 217-218
