The first type of humility is to think that your brother is smarter than you, and in everything to esteem him higher than yourself and simply, as that saint said, to place oneself below all. The second type is to attribute to God all virtuous deeds. This is the perfect humility of the saints. It is brought about naturally in the soul by the performance of the commandments. It is just like a tree that bears much fruit. It is the fruit that bends the branches and brings them down, but when lacking fruit, the branches point up and grow straight.
