Humility and Surrender

Matthew 5:3-5 (Beatitudes)

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.”

Micah 6:8

“He has told you, O mortal, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?”

Quran 25:63

“And the servants of the Most Merciful are those who walk upon the earth humbly, and when the ignorant address them, they say 'Peace,' and they spend the night to their Lord prostrating and standing.”

Bhagavad Gita 13:7-8

“Humility, unpretentiousness, non-violence, patience, simplicity, reverence for the spiritual master, purity, steadiness, and self-control—all these are considered knowledge, and whatever is opposed to these is ignorance.”

Tao Te Ching ch.8

“The highest good is like water, which benefits all things without contending with them. Water flows to the lowest place that others disdain. In this it is like the Tao.”

Guru Granth Sahib p.259

“Ego is the greatest wall between the soul and God. In true surrender and humility before the Divine, all boundaries dissolve and union is attained. The humble servant finds eternal peace.”
