If we recognise our own "perfection", we will thereby know that it does not constitute any kind of preferential treatment or favouring of us by Providence or the Godhead, regardless how much this same "perfection" nevertheless may sparkle and shine with creativity and high-intellectually. If this recognition of our own perfection is real and absolute, we will thus realise that it is only a question of time until others will pass through the same stage as the one that we have reached, just as it will also only be a question of time until we ourselves shall pass through the more perfect stages above our stage, which others have already passed. This perfect and absolute self-knowledge thus prevents us from getting even the slightest basis or support for the feeling of being higher or more favoured by life, Providence or the Godhead than other beings. It thus leaves nothing whatsoever in us that can give rise to us pharisaically worshipping ourselves because of our own particular stage in evolution and our ensuing contempt for those who have not yet reached the same stage as we have. And it is this state of consciousness, totally cleansed of the stimulus to worship oneself, that we call "humility".
