The little reed, bending to the force of the wind, soon stood upright again when the storm had passed over.
- Aesop
Vidya dadati vinayam - knowledge gives humility. The way to overcome Ego is through humility. Nature provides the example. The tree which stands upright during a storm usually breaks in two and the blade of grass which bends in a storm can survive a thousand storms. It is humility and compassion that are used as instruments to develop a pure personality.
By being humble one can bend down as many times as possible, but still can get up and conquer at the end.But by being stiff with pride the ones who refuse to bend will be the ones who will fall and cannot getup easily.
