Probably the best little treatise I have ever read on humility. A good theological grid filled with practical application. Basil maintains throughout his epistles on humility that both the ground and end of our humility is found in Christ and His glory. That is to say, we may be humble only when we follow the example of Christ and live in accordance to His commandments by His power. And the final reason for being humble is not for our own glory (“see how humble I am”), but for the glory of Christ who has saved us for humility.
