Humility

The Seer of Lublin was once confronted by a rabbi who said, "How is it that so many people come flocking to hear you?  You, who are not very learned or scholarly?  I, on the other hand, am very learned but attract so few!"
"This is easy," said the Seer.
"They come because I know so little but speak the word of God, who is so great.  They do not come to hear you because you know so much,;because your learning is so great that you leave so little room for God."

Of course, now in the 21 st century we must ask: are we better or worse for it?
