====Meher Baba==== The spiritual teacher [[Meher Baba]] held that humility is one of the foundations of devotional life: "Upon the altar of humility we must offer our prayers to God."<ref>{{cite book| author-link = Meher Baba |last = Baba | first = Meher | year = 1967 | title = Discourses | volume = 3 | location = San Francisco | publisher= Sufism Reoriented| page = 129 |isbn = 978-1-880619-09-4}}</ref> Baba also described the power of humility to overcome hostility: "True humility is strength, not weakness. It disarms antagonism and ultimately conquers it."<ref>{{cite book| author-link = Meher Baba |last = Baba | first = Meher | year = 1957| title = Life at Its Best | location = San Francisco | publisher= Sufism Reoriented| pages = 25β26|isbn = 978-0-525-47434-0}}</ref> Finally, Baba emphasized the importance of being humble when serving others: "One of the most difficult things to learn is to render service without bossing, without making a fuss about it and without any consciousness of high and low. In the world of spirituality, humility counts at least as much as utility."<ref>{{cite book| author-link = Meher Baba |last = Baba | first = Meher | year = 1933 | title = The Sayings of Shri Meher Baba | location = London | publisher= The Circle Editorial Committee | pages = 11β12 }}</ref>
