Here are some reasons why humility is so vital for spiritual growth:
- With humility comes sincerity and genuineness. When we are sincere and genuine, others are able to be equally open, sincere and genuine.
- With humility comes the openness to new truth, new insights and new ideas. Without humility, learning cannot take place.
- With humility one realizes one's weaknesses, one's limits in knowledge and wisdom. Those who are humble are aware of their shortcomings and seek to remedy them.
- With humility comes a receptive spirit, a willingness to hear and learn. . . . Lack of humility produces the narcissistic, self-absorbed individual.
- With humility people are quick to listen and slow to speak.
