Humility precedes you; it clears the way ahead of you. Without it, all would be more difficult. You are as God created you, and you do not claim any merit for yourself. You keep praising and thanking for what He is doing for you, which attracts His grace. Your heart is full of fervour and gratitude. By advancing in utmost simplicity without illusion about your own merit, you place yourself under His protection. You recognise yourself as small and without other qualities than those He actually wants to give you. This attitude is favourable to your progress; this attitude being natural in you, supports your progress. The mystic must get rid of all that he is loaded down with. A high opinion of himself would slow him down considerably. By being thankful for the benefits received, the seeker places himself in a constructive point of view. By himself, he is nothing but a human being with all his vulnerability. By offering his life to the divinity, he places it under the best auspices. All is given to him; nothing happens by his own doing. By recognising it, the doors are open to him."
