Humility is just as much the opposite of self-abasement as it is of self-exaltation. To be humble is not to make comparisons.

It is in this sense that humility is absolute self-effacement.

Do not desire, for what you desire you get, and with it comes terrible bondage. It is nothing but bringing "noses on us," as in the case of the man who had three boons to ask. We never get freedom until we are self-contained. "Self is the Saviour of self, none else."
Those who have chosen the path of least resistance in life, who cannot bear to bring themselves to make a stern value-judgment in criticism of their own most intimate feelings, achieve what they deserve: not self-understanding but radical self-superficialization, not a discovered but a self-ascribed identity that explains nothing, reveals nothing, means nothing, and ultimately accomplishes nothing culturally or intellectually.

All you need is already within you, only you must approach your self with reverence and love. Self-condemnation and self-distrust are grievous errors.

Deny yourself nothing -- glue your self infinity and eternity and discover that you do not need them; you are beyond.
