Changes

The right attitude is to see that as a separate being, as an ego, one has no importance whatever and the insistence on one's own desires, pride, position etc. is an ignorance, but one matters only as a spirit, as a portion of the Divine, not more than others, but as all souls matter to the Soul of all. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/ego-and-its-forms#p15</ref>

''What is the meaning of "you must take the right attitude"?''

The right attitude is the attitude of trust, the attitude of obedience, the attitude of consecration. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/07/2-february-1955#p1,p2</ref>

A sort of witness attitude, in which the inner consciousness looks at all that happens as a spectator or observer, observing things but taking no active interest or pleasure in them. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/inner-detachment-and-the-witness-attitude#p16</ref>

It is this[witness] attitude that gives the greatest calm, peace, samata in face of the riddle of the cosmic workings. It is not meant that action and movement are not accepted but they are accepted as the Divine Working which is leading to ends which the mind may not always see at once, but the soul divines through all the supreme purpose and the hidden guidance. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/inner-detachment-and-the-witness-attitude#p28</ref>

The true attitude is to take life as a field of perpetual study, where one must never stop learning and think that one knows everything there is to know. One can always know more and understand better. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/12/correspondence#p287</ref>

...the only true attitude is one of humility, of silent respect before what one does not know, and of inner aspiration to come out of one's ignorance …

[Based on Aphorism<10>—My soul knows that it is immortal. But you take a dead body to pieces and cry triumphantly, "Where is your soul and where is your immortality?"]

... if there is a student who has the absolutely right attitude, the will to learn in everything, so that not a word is pronounced, not a gesture made, but it becomes for him an opportunity to learn something—his presence can… help the class to rise in education. If, consciously, he is in this state of intensity of aspiration to learn and correct himself, he communicates this to the others… <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/06/2-june-1954#p19</ref>

===Towards Teaching===

...One must be a great yogi to be a good teacher. One must have a perfect attitude to be able to exact a perfect attitude from the students… <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/08/14-november-1956#p54</ref>

The attitude of the teacher must be one of a constant will to progress, not only in order to know always better what he wants to teach the students, but above all in order to be a living example to show them what they can become. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/12/correspondence#p228</ref>

The attitude of consciousness which is required is an inner certitude that, in comparison with all that is to be known, one knows nothing; and that at every moment one must be ready to learn in order to be able to teach. This is the first indispensable point. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/12/correspondence#p156</ref>
