Mahatma Gandhi said: ‘The seeker after
truth should be humbler than the dust. The world crushes the dust under its
feet, but the seeker after truth should be so humble himself that even the dust
could crush him. Only then, and not till then, will he have a glimpse of Truth.’
It’s such a beautiful statement. This humbling
melts the rigidities in us, the cold hard blocks that prevent a free flow of
the self, putting us out of sync with life. And in the absence of a free flow,
we get stuck up at a place, in a particular situation, in the past memories, in
negative emotions. We negate life. We become rigid, lose our vulnerabilities,
our softness. We take up a stern visage as a defense mechanism. The things,
people and situations that take a little strike at our rigid opinionated self,
our ego construction, are nothing but humbling tools, to break the wrong edges
in us, to reshape us, to mellow us, to help us flow, to get as near to truth as
possible. Keep flowing. Flow is evolution. And stay open to any chance of
getting humbled. These are blessings in disguise.
