He does not gloat over his own happiness or take pleasure in another's sorrow. After giving, he does not regret it, and he does not boast. That is the nature of a truly noble person.
What it means
Real decency is quiet: enjoy your good luck without showing off, never celebrate someone else's pain, give without second thoughts, and let your actions speak instead of your bragging.हिंदी में अर्थ
जो अपने सुख पर इतराता नहीं, दूसरे के दुख पर खुश नहीं होता, देकर बाद में पछताता नहीं और डींग नहीं मारता — यही सज्जन का स्वभाव है।
असली भलाई शांत होती है — अपनी खुशी का दिखावा नहीं, दूसरों के दुख पर खुशी नहीं, देकर पछतावा नहीं और कोई डींग नहीं।
