A Test For Forsaking Selfishness

Another principle for the Death Of Selfishness is to seek in everything to be Child-like...

And extremely Simple in our manners, words, dress, tastes, and interior experiences. 

Self naturally Feeds on Complexity and things Grand and Large and Loud. 

Christ is the very embodiment of Divine and Eternal Simplicity. 

The more we become selfless...

The more we become Disappointing to the people. 

Our learning, or talents will not Show Off to such fine advantage. 

We talk less. 

We live more Quietly. 

Our labors are less designed to Impress or Attract notice.

We employ Prayer and Faith in God more than Showy methods. 

We love to live like God, a profound Hidden life, in which people think we don't amount to very much. 

This is one of the tests for forsaking selfishness.
