Like an ancient light shining from Gan Eden, our holy sages revealed a precious secret about the relationship between love and humility. The awakening of love in our hearts for other people effectively subdues the ego. The more we love others, the more humility we attain. The wider we expand our circle of love to include all mankind, the more our hearts will be purified of all arrogance. Lesson: Love is letting go of one's ego in order to open your heart to care about another person.The joy and goodness of love is the remedy for self-importance.
Visualization: Envision your heart filled with love for family members, your friends, and your community. See the circle of your love increase in intensity and in scope until it embraces all of mankind. Your heart is healed of all ego and filled with love, humility, and kindness.
