Arrogance

 अति रूपेण  वै सीता ह्यतिगर्वेण रावणः ।

अतिदानाद्  बलिर्बध्दो ह्यति सर्वत्र वर्जयेत् ।।

 

This  proverb, taken from Chankya Neeti is truth of real life.   It  exemplifies that anything in excess in not good for the happy life.  It says because of excessive beauty Seeta was abducted, Because of excessive pride Rawan was killed and King Bali lost everything because of excessive generosity.  Therefore, too much excess is harmful.

In today life, we come across so much real incidences, still we forget the truth and mistake again.

We need not go deep into the history.  Just look around and you will  be bombard with thousands of real life cases.  Many businessmen who were like Kings in their domain of business like Naresh Goel now languishing in Jail.  Vijay Mallya, Chowkis are facing trials in India.  Some of the most powerful politicians are now behind the bars.  Think of super stars like Rajesh Khanna, Parveen Boby who had nobody to take care of them during their last breath.

 

Even in many corporates the executives at times become arrogant without realizing their limitations.  This arrogant reflects inherent their short comings which they want to hide and may be later but their downfall is assured. 

 

Today I respectfully bow down to the lyricist Majroo Sultanpuri who penned this beautiful song :Iek din bik jayega, mati ke Mol…: for the film “Dharmkaram”, soulfully sang by respected Mukesh.
