Swami B. V. Tripurari Live Q & A; January 1, 2023: Does Humility Come Spontaneously or By Effort?

Questions on today’s Swami call:Is it that we first learn to study sastra under guidance and then we become able to study it on our own?Can the principle of thesis-antithesis-synthesis be seen in the different types of personalities of our lineage? Is the ability to see the svarupa sakti manifesting itself in different ways something that will come with advancement?What is the origin of Ayurveda?Why are Sri Srivasa Thakura and Srila Haridas Thakura used as examples of external practice in the Caitanya-Bhagavata? Are we destined for certain amounts of material distress and happiness in this life and should therefore not care to strive for happiness and avoid distress?Sometimes it is said that we should try to be humble, and other times it is said that humility comes naturally with bhakti. If it comes naturally with bhakti, why should be try to be humble?Can one be self-assertive for the cause of bhakti?
