RAMAKRISHNA ANANDA

Humility Is Vital

Explore how becoming more humble leads to a vision of God

Sri Ramakrishna, the great yogi from the nineteenth century, came to help humanity find greater happiness and fulfillment. He taught that if we enter into a relationship with the Lord of our heart, many possibilities become available. But how do we go about having a deeper relationship with God? Humility is often the answer. Find out how to become more humble and open to a closer relationship with the Lord.

Bhakti Yoga Talks, Sri Ramakrishna, Helpful Qualities, Soul/Inner Self

The Divine Lifts up the Humble

If you humble yourself, not only will the soul reveal itself, but you will know it is is a part of the Divine. Your soul is a direct expression of the Divine within you. If you humble yourself, the Divine will continuously lift you up. As long as you remain humble, Spirit will never stop lifting you up.

  • Learn how yogis advocate humility because it rolls away the boulder of the ego
  • In arrogance we live in a sense of separation and cannot know Spirit
  • Hear how carelessness is caused by pride and arrogance
  • Discover that listening well is a good way to learn humility
  • Explore how humility enables the development of friendliness toward others, friendliness toward life, and friendliness toward the object of your meditation as well
  • Sri Ramakrishna admired excellences in people, remarking there was a fuller expression of shakti (divine energy) in them

We are spiritual beings
“Higher consciousness (also called spiritual awareness) is the main component missing in the lives of people. We humans are spiritual beings, enlivened by Spirit. We’d have a much better world if more people discovered the already present Spirit within them.”

— Ramakrishna Ananda
