Mahabharata 3.33.54 meaning
na ch-aiv-atm-avamantavyah purushena kadachana
na hy-atmaparibhootasya bhootir bhavati bharata
न चैवात्मावमन्तव्यः पुरुषेण कदाचन।
न ह्यात्मपरिभूतस्य भूतिर्भवति भारत॥
A person should never look down on oneself. There is no prosperity for one who holds oneself in contempt.
What it means
Self-respect is the first step to any success. If you constantly tell yourself you are not good enough, you stop trying. Treat yourself with the dignity you would give a friend.हिंदी में अर्थ
मनुष्य को कभी खुद को छोटा नहीं समझना चाहिए। जो खुद का अपमान करता है, उसकी उन्नति नहीं होती।
आत्मसम्मान हर सफलता की पहली सीढ़ी है। अगर तुम खुद को बेकार मानोगे, तो कोशिश ही छोड़ दोगे। खुद से वैसे पेश आओ जैसे किसी दोस्त से।
Spoken by Draupadi.
