"Only those who can lose themselves in My love will find themselves in Me. This is not an idle talk, but an authoritative statement that eternally I have been, and will be, always the slave of My lovers."

"The difficulty does not end even if with true honesty you try to express true humility. An obstacle, like the thought as to what others may think of your expression of humility, is bound to come. In modesty, you are constantly pestered with thoughts about your correct behavior to such an extent that an inferiority complex is self-created in you, and that is not strength but weakness.

"No sooner humility is given an expression, it is no longer humility. It is humbug to give deliberate expression to humility. The life of humility is to be lived spontaneously and it should not give rise to any other thoughts either about humility or about modesty. For example, suppose you undertake to clean a latrine, but when you actually begin to do so, you cannot help getting the stink, whereas a sweeper who cleans them all his life will remain unaffected by it. Similarly, the person who parades humility is like the one who feels the stink when cleaning a latrine, whereas the person who lives the life of humility, is like the sweeper who is not only immune to the stink but who also remains absolutely unmindful about what others think about him and his job because he actually lives the life of a sweeper.

"To have to try to be humble is also humbug. You must be so natural that your life becomes humility personified, which is then all strength, free from any weaknesses.
