How to deal with Humiliations?

Know that humiliation does not weaken you - It strengthens you.

When you have a sense of belongingness, you do not feel humiliated. The more egotistic you are, the more humiliation you feel. When you are childlike and have a greater sense of kinship, then you do not feel humiliated.

When you are committed to truth and not to your ego, then you also do not feel humiliated.

If you are afraid of humiliation, you can neither make progress in your material life nor in your spiritual life.

When you stand above humiliation, you get closer to the Self - to God. When you are steeped in love, with the Existence, with the Divine, nothing whatsoever can humiliate you.

So the way out of humiliation is:

• Get humiliated.

• Be childlike.

• Be crazy.

• Get steeped in love with the Divine.

• Totally commit yourself to truth, to knowledge.
