Lord of Humility

Lord of humility, dwelling in the little pariah hut
Help us to search for Thee throughout that fair land
Watered by Ganges, Brahmaputra and Jamuna.
Give us receptiveness, give us open-heartedness,
Give us Thy humility, give us the ability and willingness
To identify ourselves with the masses of India.

 Oh God, who does help only when man feels utterly humble,
Grant that we may not be isolated from the people
We would serve as servants and friends.

Let us be embodiments of self-sacrifices,
Embodiments of godliness,

Humility personified,
That we may know the land better
And love it more.

M.K. Gandhi
