Where there is true respect there is humility. The more respect is measured on the basis of something external, the greater the desire for recognition from others. The greater the desire, the more one falls victim to ego and there cannot be humility. We need to start the day with a thought that brings self-respect. We need to tell ourselves that we are special and also use this speciality throughout the day. We will then not dominate or limit the freedom of anyone but will naturally work with humility.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
