GOD’S WORSHIPPERS
Only one who has really been in love with someone
can be moved to tears by the memory of his
beloved. If one feels no attachment for someone,
one cannot, simply because some occasion calls for
it, force oneself to cry for that person.
Some adopt an attitude of humility towards their
fellow men, while others remain arrogant. Some are
fair and just, others oppress and persecute their
fellows. Some are humble, others are proud. Some
submit to the truth, others do not. People of such
opposing attitudes cannot both worship God in a
similar fashion. Only the first category of people
will be genuinely humble in their worship. The
second category may adopt the humble postures of
worship—as the occasion demands—but they
cannot thereby become God’s humble servants.
Humility in one’s worship stems from a life of
humility. One who is not humble in the totality of
his existence cannot then be truly humble in his
worship.
