But humility also comes by advancement in Krsna consciousness. That is why

the uttama-adhikari is the utmost humble because he thinks that everyone

else is better than him. And advancement comes by the pure chanting of the

maha-mantra. But again the pure chanting of the maha-mantra can be done only

when one takes a humble position. It is like a cycle. By being humble you

can chant purely and by chanting purely you become more humble.

 

For a madhyama and kanishtha, humility means to accept his real position and

to not accept worship not meant for his position. Because he can't become as

humble an uttama-adhikari who is exhibiting the topmost humility and calls

himself worse then the worm in the stool and really feels like that. Lord

Caitanya told Rupa & Sanatana that your humility is breaking my heart. This

is the humility of the nitya-siddhas which also cannot be imitated.

 

Your servant,

Nayana-ranjana das
