Whatever leads us to recognize our nothingness hastens our falling into the arms of God.
Humility returns the center of gravity to
the center. It addresses the ego
clinging, which supplies oxygen to our suffering. It calls for a light grasp. For the opposite of clinging is not letting
go but cherishing. This is the goal of
the practice of humility. That having a light grasp on life prepares the way for cherishing what is right in front of us.
