Humility, on the other hand, is the grateful acknowledgmentof powers vastly higher than our own. Humility is a most necessary virtue. If, as aspirants on the path, we sanctify God within our hearts and attribute all power to Him, we are then blessed with a measure of power and holiness commensurate with our humility. But if we consider ourselves sanctified and arrogate power to ourselves in order to shine among men and greedily rule over them, then we are theives and robbers. Whosoever raises himself above his fellow beings in a hard and self-centered manner transgresses the eighth Commandment.
Power is safe only in the hands of the humble.
The power of love is safe only in the heart of the self-controlled and the morally pure. Do not steal, for all things come to him who waits, who watches, who prays.
