Humble for no reason

Is it possible for us to GENERATE an experience of utter humility, without the support of any external factor, reason, situation, occasion, etc?

I was wondering thus, and found the 'visuals' of such day-dreaming to be thoroughly refereshing! It is difficult to put into words the surge of that 'experience', and it would not be entirely wrong to classify it as a 'kind of emotion' (that experience of visuals..... for example, we come out of a movie theatre, after seeing a great hero, who has extra ordinary capabilities, like fighting 2 dozen villains at a time, shouldering too many responsibilites at a time, sacrificing everything for others etc.... and we too feel some kind of 'charge' or energy, for some time..... usually it lasts till we reach the nearest bus-stop, and then we are back to our normal self! That is one of the reasons, when we feel the movie was worth every penny! )


I had come across a wonderful blog, which highlighted the subtle aspects of emotional intelligence.... http://www.speakingtree.in/public/spiritual-blogs/seekers/self-improvement/emotional-intelligence , ....

In fact, it gives details of what constitutes emotional intelligence.... Clearly, the author must have had first hand experience of these qualities, to be able to list it out so exhaustively!


I was only looking out for the spiritual aspect, (as is the usual focus of my eye ,when reading such blogs.......).... I even took courage to respond, seeking for sources where such formal or structured training is imparted in the present day world(be it any institution, organisation, structure ... by any name what-so-ever)..... It is good enough if somebody tells us how to get stabilized into emotions... In simple terms, we become capable of remaining like that lotus leaf, untouched by the slush that we are rooted in.... deeper the slush, better the lotus leaf and its flower.... we should be able to emote at will, in full awareness, consciously, and totally, whether it is about manifesting a positive emotion, or a negative one....


In that stream of thought process, I began wondering thus..... is it possible to 'experience'.... not just thinking about it, or trying to act, feign, manifest or so.... no need for the fellow next to us to even get a hint of what is happening within us..... our actions are purely according to the need of the situation, but inside us, within us, we are generating an immense fountain of humility, without the dependence on even a memory from the past!


I suppose, that humility too counts as an 'item' under the list of emotional intelligence!
