RE:Subject: 544--Q&A WITH SWAMIJI- Definition of the term "causal"

[Guest guest]

Swamiji.....

"Another very beautiful term for humility in Sanskrit is Vinamrata: a

state of continuous bowing."

 

Thank you so much for this, Swamiji. What a wonderful way of

defining "humility"...so much is implied from this word : being in the

present moment enough to See what is in front of us, the love that

seems to automaticially arise when we truly see what IS in front of us

and the automatic reaction of bowing in the face of that

understanding.There is nothing of the self-abnegation that we can

sometimes confuse with "humility"....the attitude is one of reverence

and respect, coming from a state of awareness and love, where there is

no room for "higher and lower" and no "separation". Thank you again

for this. I have never heard this term and it is something I will

REALLY cherish and use as a touchstone in my own life.
