END OF BOOK 1
"Humility" doesn’t come from words like quiet, safe, submissive, and humble but from words like "peace" and “humanity” and it is not the external peace, but the peace in the soul, which occurs at pacification of the spirit. Humility itself is a Unit and zeros are the other virtues.
They say that once in Jerusalem in the city walls there were doors, called „needle’s eyes." They were so low that only some camels, kneeling, managed to crawl under their arches and enter the city. Because it is easier for the camel to go through the "needle's eye" than the one who has wealth and gifts to enter the kingdom of heaven!? It turns out that a man is more difficult to fight for his own pride, vanity, conceit and arrogance than a camel to tuck his knees and enter through the "eye of a needle" in the holy city of Jerusalem.
Humility is the essence of all Christianity. "Come unto me - Christ says - because I am meek and humble of heart."
The quality of humility is one of the great qualities that distinguish the Muslims. The Messenger of Allah (let be peace upon him) was the most humble of all men.
"Humility brings the power of water: if something obstructs its way, it takes another direction and run again and continue its way until it meets with the ocean." - says the doctrine of the Sufis.
One day Buddha fell asleep in a flower meadow. At this time a snake approached him and wrapped around him. It began to strangle him and Buddha immediately woke up and applied the law of shrinking. He shrank so much that he fell off the shackles of the snake. In order to shrink and to be humble- it means to learn the law of shrinking.
