Learning & Humility

Learning & Humility

Learning goes hand-in-hand with humility. Lack of humility and learning don't belong in the same room. Humility is not the mark of meekness. Humility doesn't mean that you put the other person on a pedestal and you seek a low position. On the contrary, humility implies a certain amount of alertness, a mind that is keen to know and learn.


The world is witnessing a change all the time and the change is happening at a frenetic pace. We can observe ourselves what we are only in our relations with other human beings. A person who isolates himself from another human being becomes neurotic. So we must give as much time, energy and thought to our relationships as we can. 

Sadly, most of us choose to be shown the way rather than finding the way ourselves. We find it uninteresting to inquire, ponder, question, learn, so we take refuge in someone else's ideology. What we don't realize is that a mind that follows in someone else's footsteps becomes a mind that's second-hand. Such a mind can't come face to face with its complexities, its prejudices, its weaknesses.
