Your spirit should feel humble before a god's spirit. You never really feel humble in front of anyone else, but if you meet a god's spirit… Well, you should probably lower yourself appropriately. Gods have powerful spirits.

Mnemonic

When you meet a god's spirit, you need to get down on your shins (しん). Get down on your ankles? No, not low enough. Knees? No, no, get your shins flat on the ground to show how humble you really are. Luckily, you're wearing jeans (じん), so at least that will stop your poor shins getting chafed!
