A boastful person who talks incessantly about his/her achievements, wealth or blessings does not achieve success or happiness. Generosity, bravery, fearlessness, modesty, riches, contentment, and enrichment of life – these and many similar qualities are considered divine in the Indian tradition. Modesty about your achievement and the riches you possess make you an attractive person whose popularity is boundless. Even a cursory glance at today’s celebrities will unfold to you who are more appealing because of their innate modesty and who are pitiable because of their bombast and boasting. Those who achieve great ambitions know that what they have accomplished is nothing in comparison with what the masters of knowledge have achieved in the past. These are no true end to achieving the ultimate. Perfection is not easy to achieve. It envisages success in worldly matters as well as spiritual matters. Boasting about one’s success is an expression of immaturity and ignorance.
