“The higher a man is in grace, the lower he will be in his own esteem.”
— Charles Spurgeon
Simplified Meaning:
When someone becomes more virtuous, kind, or spiritually enlightened, they tend to be more humble and less proud of themselves. Imagine a great scientist who discovers many important things - instead of bragging, they might become more aware of the vastness of what they don't know. This happens because truly understanding one's capabilities often includes recognizing one's limitations. Just like how a wise person knows there is always more to learn, a very good or spiritual person sees their own small flaws more clearly and doesn't feel superior to others. Applying this to life, remember that improving yourself means staying humble and understanding that everyone has room to grow. So, no matter how good you become at something, staying modest keeps you grounded and respectful of others' journeys.
