Humility and Bending the Knee

Being able to distinguish between the ego’s self-interest and our ultimate interest is one of the better outcomes of humility. Grasping and holding onto my plans and perceptions doesn’t allow for the free association of ideas beyond my own vision. To be able to see the lack of vision in others can be disabling but put to good use when I acknowledge that these failings are my own. Humility doesn’t involve bending the knee so much as it involves submitting the mind towards a more pliable instrument of recovery.
