[Avodah] walk humbly

[Joel Rich]

Kach mkublani mbeit avi abba:
To walk humbly with your God. God requires of man the highest of
sacrifices-anonymity, humility. God hates glamor, fame, external glitter,
and vainglory. He loves the actor who appears on the stage for a short
while, plays his or her part humbly, and disappears immediately without
receiving applause. Man stands in the limelight as long as he is the
Messiah, the anointed one, consecrated to the covenantal community. The
very moment he finishes his job, the lights are dimmed and he disappears
from sight. (Rabbi JB Soloveitchik Days of Deliverance, pp. 45-46) Thoughts?
