Humility

Gurdjieff Transcripts 1941-1946, Page 33
This conversation actually begins middle page 32 but...

"Question: I have the impression that I cannot prevent myself from using the forces given me by the work in order to be superior to the people whom I meet.
G: You are a small person. One aspect in you has grown. Six others must also grow. After this, you can [imagine] that you are not as others. You must not forget that the first thing to remember is your nothingness, [this idea] of yourself will show you better [that the others have surpassed you]."

Remember this was written in the 1940's, words spoken to educate a specific individual at that time.

For me it speaks to what I need to pay attention to to be a decent human being: loving myself and being patient with myself as well as with others - to practice bearing my own and others manifestations without expression of negativity, to practice being present to all that occurs inside and outside my self and to keep moving toward my cherished aim at all moments no matter what. To be fearless in this study. Almost all other words seem to me to be superfluous in light of the simple instructions; words used perhaps to speak to all the different types before their ears got cleaned out.
