Your comment "Humility is an important part of Sikhism"
Two Sikh scriptures you quoted in the post, I wanted to quote here because I particularly like them.
"When egotism departs then the state of supreme dignity is obtained."
"Peace is obtained through devotional worship of the Lord"
Being humble is an important part to being able to worship a supreme being because in order to worship a supreme being, you would have to recognize that supreme being is
supreme, better than self.
Thank you for sharing your Sikh scriptures with me.
Here's mine that apply to humility, that you brought up.
verse 8
"When thou art bidden {invited} of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room..."
verse 9
"And he that bade {invited} thee ...come and say to thee, Give this man {another person} place and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room."
verse 10
"But when thou art bidden {invited}, go and sit in the lowest room that when he that bade thee cometh , he may say unto thee, Friend go up higher then shalt thou have worship {respect or honor} in the presence of them that sit with thee."
verse 11
"For whosoever exalteth {haughtiness} himself shall be abased {humbled} and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted."
Luke 14:8-11
"And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant."
Matthew 20.27
