The Cloud of Unknowing
To be humble is to face yourself without desire or expectation. To be humble is to follow your true nature as your guide on the way of the path. To follow your true nature is to know humility without pride. You cannot know humility as the me of the body. Your personality gloats in its false perceptions of good and bad, better and worse. It lives in an illusion of comparisons and contrasts. To be humble is to reject the way of the world and to turn within. To be humble is to accept your limitations as the me of the body and to accept that you are whole, complete, perfect, eternal as that which I AM, or twia. To be humble is to know without saying, for it cannot be said. Humility is lost in words.
To be humble is to live from within. Humility is unveiled in the still, dark silence of the room within. Herein lies your own true nature. When you arise from within to re-enter the world, you enter into the whole of the all, which has no equal. There is no comparison within the whole of the all because there is no separation, and without separation there is no better or worse, good or bad; there is no this and that to compare and contrast. To live from within in the whole of the all is to live without humility because there is no pride for comparison. You cannot have humility without pride. In the whole of the all, you simply live as your true nature, which is twia, or that which I AM. This is to live humbly from within.
To be humble from within is to know twia. To know twia is to live without separation, to be your own true nature in the whole of the all. To live in the world of this and that is to know both pride and humility. You cannot have one without the other. To live humbly in the world is to reduce pride, but not to remove it. Instead, follow twia in the whole of the all without pride or humility. There is no this and that in the whole of the all. There is that which I AM and no other.
