Question: What is humility?
Answer: Humility is manifested in different ways at various stages of
one�s development. For instance, humility of shudra is obedience. Humility of vaishya
and kshatriya is to stay away from unneeded conflicts, not to give way to anger,
and if a battle is lost � to be able to accept one�s own destiny. For a brahman
humility is renunciation of the personal desires (except essential needs of the
body), that is surrender to God�s will and non-attachment to the fruits of one�s
own actions and to the action itself. In a great detail this subject is covered
in the Bhagavad Gita.
