anuddhatah satpurushah samriddhibhih svabhava esha paropakarinam
भवन्ति नम्रास्तरवः फलोद्गमैर्नवाम्बुभिर्दूरावलम्बिनो घनाः ।
अनुद्धताः सत्पुरुषाः समृद्धिभिः स्वभाव एष परोपकारिणाम् ॥
Trees bend low when heavy with fruit; clouds hang low when full of fresh rain; good people stay humble when they prosper. This is the nature of those who help others.
What it means
The more you have, the lower you should bend. Success that makes you arrogant is empty; success that makes you humble and generous is real. Let your growth make you kinder.हिंदी में अर्थ
फल आने पर पेड़ झुक जाते हैं, नए जल से भरे बादल नीचे लटक आते हैं, सज्जन समृद्धि में भी नम्र रहते हैं। परोपकारियों का यही स्वभाव है।
जितना ज़्यादा मिले, उतना झुकिए। जो सफलता घमंड लाए वह खोखली है, जो नम्रता और उदारता लाए वही सच्ची है।
