Each 'Choose-day' we will investigate the process by which we can reassess our activity and interaction with the world of plurality.

Taking up point #3, “A person may have everything – Knowledge, wealth and virtues, but if he is not humble, all is in vain. All else becomes beautiful with humility.”  May seem straightforward, but think on.

Just reading a truism make a jot of difference to our lives unless we take it into our minds and work it over and make it our own. This is the choice we have here; having read the sentence, have you owned it? Have we made the decision to watch ourselves for the rise of our ego, coming to defeat any sense of humility?

This is what this point is about. Not that we must 'hobble and grovel', and neither must we think in terms of "I am being humble".

All it requires of us is that we watch our ego and keep it under control. Humility will step forth by virtue of this and we can move along easily.
