Pride makes human beings poor; humility brings them wealth

March 14th 2024

Pride makes human beings poorer, and humility makes them richer. Yes, see how proud people behave – they are puffed up and full of themselves – whereas humble people empty themselves. It is precisely this emptiness that attracts plenitude, because as soon as there is a void, a force rushes in to fill it. One must be humble to attract God, for God cannot enter a vessel that is already full: you must be empty before He can enter.
If you say, ‘God, I am foolish and You are wisdom, I am poor and You are wealth, I am weak and You are power’, you are already creating space inside yourselves, and God will rush to fill that space. Whereas if you boast about your own virtues and abilities, you will never be visited by the Lord. He will say, ‘Well, since you are so pleased with yourself, stay as you are – you do not need me.’*
