Govinda dasa - Practical Humility
H.G. Govinda dasa, ISKCON Chowpatty Temple President
'As you probably know in India, the bus-drivers are quite ruthless in their driving. One time one such driver was driving so fast along one of the low-quality roads where there were pot holes and the entire bus shook, people falling out of their seats. At this point the passengers were ready to shout and curse at the driver. But then the most amazing thing happened. The bus driver stopped the bus, got up from his seat and with a prayer gesture sincerely asked for the passengers' forgiveness. And suddenly those same passengers that were angry became content - this shows how practical humility is.'
Paraphrased from a Shrimad-Bhagavatam class.
