Humility

" Only men who -

live by the Vedas

( and ) qualify ...

can wear your feet

on their heads ..

O Lord ,

of blue black body ,

and eyes like lotuses ...

But you know ,

when the town's cattle moo

coming home ,

the blind one moos too ....

So I too speak of you ..

How else ? "

Nammalvar , mystic tamil poet saint , 8th century, in Thiruvaymozhi , divya prabandham .
