Fwd: This is humbleness

[Guest guest]

Hare Krsna.

 

This is humbleness

 

Upendra asked, " Swamiji, how should we feel humble? I

feel sometimes that

when I try to be humble I first think about it, and then I

try to be humble.

But it seems artificial. "

 

" This is humbleness, " Prabhupada said. " When

we think, " Oh, I should have

done it this way'-that is good. Because then there is

always room for

improvement. If you go on thinking, " Oh, I did not

perform this duty so

nicely. I should have done it this way,' then you will

improve. Our love for

Krsna keeps growing as long as we think that we are not

doing the most for Krsna and that we must do more. This

is humbleness. If you think, " Oh, I did this so

wonderfully. I am such a nice and sincere devotee,' then

this is not good. There will be no improvement. "
