Humility brings good thoughts where there is no room for pride or ego.
Humility is at the root of religion and it is rather difficult to develop religious feelings as long as ego exists. Deceit is responsible for a dishonest life. Due to deceit one loses friends. Honesty helps to realize the truth. A deceitful person has little understanding of religion.
