My father was a humble man. He could not abide arrogance. This C. S. Lewis quote describes his spiritual practice to a T:

“As long as you are proud you cannot know God. A proud man is always looking down on things and people: and, of course, as long as you are looking down, you cannot see something that is above you….
The real test of being in the presence of God is that you either forget about yourself altogether or see yourself as a small, dirty object. It is better to forget about yourself altogether.”

C.S.Lewis Mere Christianity, bk 3, ch. 8
