A humble heart
Is the very essence of religiousness.
But beware of one thing:
That is false humility.
There are thousands of people
Who are deceived by it.
It is better not to be humble
Than to be humble in a pseudo way
Because the person who is not mumble
Sooner or later will have to recognize
That all his suffering is coming from his ego
And for how long can you cling to something
Which goes on giving you suffering? For how long?
The more intelligent you are
The sooner you will drop out of it.
The pseudo humbleness can recreate trouble
For you because it hides the ego
It covers up the ego.
It is like covering your wound with a rose flower
So you don't see the pus
And the stink of the wound

The beauty and the fragrance of the flower.
And meanwhile the wound goes on deepening
Meanwhile the wound is turning into a cancer.
The pseudo-humbleness is created, cultivated.
It is ego standing on its head, upside down.
That's what is being taught
By all the organised religions:
Be humble, try to be humble
Learn manners, etiquette that help you to be humble.
But this is all from the outside.
My effort here is that your heart should open up.
You should not cultivate
The quality of humbleness.
It should be a by-product when your heart opens up.
It comes of its own accord.
A cultivated humbleness is not humbleness at all;
It is just its opposite.
It is not a friend
It is a foe hiding itself as a friend
Hence it is more dangerous than the foe itself.
Real humbleness
Comes through silence, meditativeness, awareness.
It has nothing to do with humbleness directly
It always comes as a consequence.
Be more and more meditative
Silent, alert, watchful
And many things will come
In the wake of your meditativeness.
Humbleness will be the first guest.
Then it is true
And then it has a beauty of its
