Chapter 7: The value of humility (paragraph 8)

The second step of humility is not to love having our own way nor to delight in our own desires. (From para. 8 of Ch. 7 of Saint Benedict's Rule, trans. by Patrick Barry, OSB, 1997.)

Meditation brings me close to my true self, my true source, the source of selfless action. Family and community bring me plenty of opportunities to learn to practice selflessness.
