Srila Prabhupada was an epitome of humility. Srila Prabhupada was once giving a class on Varnasrama. One person in audience asked Srila Prabhupada which class of society he belonged to, and Srila Prabhupada said, “I’m fifth class, servant of all these 4 classes!”Once (in an air port) a Devotee announced “All devotees have to go to other side because of airport problems!” Srila Prabhupada also went along with all the devotees. The announcing devotee came to Srila Prabhupada and said, “Prabhupada, it was not for you.” Srila Prabhupad asked, “Am I not a devotee?”People who don’t think that they are smart or great and who don’t think that they are great and don’t want to come in lime light, they catch the attention of the master. For Example:- Sugriva and all other monkeys were sitting to be selected as that one monkey who can go to search Sita at Lanka. Actually every monkey was speaking of his qualities and qualifications, but Hanuman was silent. It was Jambavan who reminded Hanuman of his qualities and abilities which he had forgotten due to a curse. When Hanuman was reminded, he immediately grew in size. He was picked and chosen without his boasting.
