Regarding the previous question about the humility that complements the will.
The Rabbi zt”l writes in the manner of the Rabbi’s humility as follows:
A. “Here I am” is a language of humility and agility because the humble are agile.
on. Humility completes the will, and in this it is the best tool for receiving every blessing,
C. Humility strengthens the memory.
The above statements raised several more questions and misunderstandings for me.
First in B, what is the connection between the first half of the sentence and the second half?
What is the connection between humility and memory?
Thank you very much!

The original question was actually about A. Did you understand that already? If I understand correctly – his intention is that Anu rushes to do what is necessary because he and his needs are not the center. In any case, things are also done better and faster, and this is B’s interpretation. The conclusion is that if you act according to your will and according to your values, you will reach the blessing better. And regarding memory, I’m not sure, but perhaps he means to say that remembering things means needing things that are not you and not from you. If you are humble, you will remember more because you are attentive to things outside of you. Perhaps memory here is in the sense that God remembers us (memories of the Creator), meaning that He needs us and our needs.
