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.
