Quality: Humility rooted in calmness
Humility is self-honesty; it is self-forgetfulness; it is
recognizing the great realities of life outside your little
preoccupations. As Paramhansa Yogananda put it, "have
neither a superiority nor an inferiority complex."
Seek the simple courage to project your energy outward,
away from yourself, instead of drawing people's energy inward
to yourself.
While using this essence, think of the sweet softness of
a ripe but firm banana. Let that thought enter stealthily
into your heart.
Affirmation: I am a ripple of calmness among towering waves
of egotism of life's restless sea.
Enhances: Calmness; self-honesty; self-forgetfulness; ability
to step back and observe, non-reactiveness; not getting
caught up in negativity; understanding that “what
goes around comes around”; for healthy distance from
people and circumstances; objectivity.
Pattern of Disharmony: Focusing on oneself; anxiety; negative
attachment; loss of perspective; “can’t see
the forest for the trees”; clouded judgment; nervousness,
a quarrelsome nature; false pride; for a deep-seated need
for recognition; for “going bananas.”
