CHAPTER 7: HUMILITY continued
THE sixth step in humility is if a monk is content with the meanest and worst of everything, and in every task given to him to do regards himself as a bad and unfit workman, saying in his heart with the prophet: ‘I have been brought to nothing and am ignorant: I am become as a beast before thee, and I am always with thee’ (Ps. 72).
