60 RELIGION OF THE SOUL What are the main forms of the virtue of humility? The main forms of humility are faith in and de- votion and gratitude to God. Faith is the affirmation of our affinity to God, devotion the offering of our allegiance to God, and gratitude the blissful state of the fulfilled imitation of Divine life. This fundamental virtue, in its three forms, is so palpable in our whole life that, if only one of these forms 1s neglected, disharmony, confusion and bit- terness envelop the soul. We cannot move one step without faith in worthiness, we are discontented and bitter without the worthy object of devotion, and we feel lost without the sentiment of gratitude for worthy gifts. We must have faith in the holiest object of life in order to have an absolute ground and reason for worthy action. : Whom shall we trust, if we have no trust in God, the absolute source and prototype of worthy trust ? To whom shall we be devoted, if not to Holi- ness, Iruth and Love of God, the superessential trinity of His Life and the essential trinity of all worthy deeds, lofty thoughts and worthy long- ings and desires? oe 5
