The elder said: Humility is acquired after struggles. When you know yourself
you acquire humility, which become a (permanent) condition. Otherwise one can
become humble for a moment, but your thought will say to you that you are
something although in reality you're nothing. and you'll be deluded like that
to the moment of death. If death finds you with the thought that you are
nothing, then God will speak. If however your thought says at the hour of death
that you are something and you don't understand it, all your effort goes to
waste.
