Blessed are the meek [humble]

 

 

" Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth " (Matthew 5:5).

 

(p.436) Humbleness and meekness create in man a bottomless receptacle of

recipiency to hold Truth. A proud irascible individual, like the proverbial

rolling stone, rolls down the hill of ignorance and gathers no moss of wisdom,

while meek souls at peace in the valley of eager mental readiness gather waters

of wisdom, flowing from sources human and divine, to nourish their flowering

vale of soul qualities.

 

The imperious egotist is easily riled, defensive, and resentfully offensive,

repelling emissaries of wisdom who seek entry into the castle of his life; but

the meek and humbly receptive attract the unseen assistance of beneficent angels

of cosmic forces proffering material, mental, and spiritual well-being. (p.437)

Thus do the meek of spirit inherit not only all wisdom, but the earth, that is,

earthly happiness, along with it.[1]
