“Humility is getting yourself out of the way, surrender, like a prostration, letting that Greater Power, Force, Truth, whatever — take you over, until there’s no you, there’s just it. And then it just is.
It strengthens, it endures, it’s powerful — but not over anything. It’s seeing the Divine. And it has its own way of doing things.
There’s no way that the intellect is going to understand that. As soon as the intellect says, “Oh, I’ve got this figured out,” it’s going to do something else.”
-James Wood, Importance of Body
