However, if the lowly one knows his place then he does not suffer for being low, as this is his place. For example, the legs are not at all degraded because they are always walking in the litter and must carry the full weight of the body, whereas the head is always above, since because they know their place. Hence, the legs are not at all degraded and do not suffer for being on a low degree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet, if they had wanted to be on top but were forced to be below, they would feel the suffering. This is the meaning of \u201cMan\u2019s pride shall bring him low.\u201d If one wants to remain in one\u2019s lowliness, he does not feel any lowliness, meaning no suffering that \u201cMan is born a wild ass\u2019s colt.\u201d But when they want to be proud they feel the lowliness, and then they suffer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Suffering and lowliness go hand in hand. If one feels no suffering, it is considered that he has no lowliness. It is precisely according to the measure of one\u2019s pride, or that he wants to be but is not, so he feels the lowliness. This lowliness later becomes a&nbsp;<em>Kli<\/em>&nbsp;[vessel] for pride, as it is written, \u201cThe Lord reigns; He wears pride.\u201d If they adhere to the Creator, they have a clothing of pride, as it is written, \u201cPride and glory are to the One who lives forever.\u201d Those who adhere to the One who lives forever have much pride.
