ARE YOU HUMBLE?

There is a story of a king in Sree Maha Bhagavatham. He was the king of Kurusham, neighboring kingdom of Kashi. His name was Paundraka Vasudevan. From his childhood, people surrounded him made him believe that he is God Vasudevan. His associates, close friends all allow his ego to fly in heights in a way that he believed that he is the god of this universe. He had people around him in support for what he wanted to do in his kingdom. For sreevatsa, he burnt his chest to imprint the mark of Brigu, designed an expensive gem, wore it in his neck and named it as Kaustab. A sudarsan was made in Iron and he carried it in his right hand. He assumed himself as god and he was informed by his associates that a cowherd named Krishna is wearing his symbols in Dwaraka and as the real Vasudev you should invite him to your kingdom and reprimand him. Paundraka Vasudevan, blinded by his associates informed one of his messengers to go to dwaraka and explained the matter. Krishna listening to Poundraka Vasudevan's claims reached Kurusham and surprised the way in which king decked in his attire. After seeing Krishna, Poundraka Vasudevan got agitated and sent his irom chakra to Krishna and in turn Krishna called Sudarshan and finished of Poundraka Vasudevan. He attained salvation through the hands of God.

It is true that you can believe you are a mega star or even god yourself and believe in things that with the help of your associates who stand by you if you are a king like Paundraka Vasudevan. And when you have people around you to sing laurels you can assume that you are a super star, it is natural. And you don't need to be humble in your standards to paste a label on your forehead and announce it publicaly through your own alien masks. I have not seen humble humans claiming aloud that they are humble. Humble humans never throw shoes or sting on their enemies and a good humble friend will never assist some one to do such a thing. A good freind or associate always help a human not to harm or haunt a fellow human and they will never disturb a human. But it can happen if you believe how Paundraka Vasudevan beleived. It is unbelievable that after doing a round of criminal activities how people justify. Is that called humbleness?. Masked ones can do any kind of dramas according to situations and they pretend to be humble when things go wrong against them to earn mileage. May be you are also ignorant like Paundraka Vasudevan, not knowing who exactly you are and you believe and assume you are a mega star as your associates sing laurels in your favour at your doorstep.

I do not like to paste on my forehead a sheet of paper that I am humble. I am humble with real great people, tough with traitors and rough with criminals. I am humbled to God now that he showed me the thickest layers of a humble lucifer and how much damage that effect can cause to the life of a human. A weed stands a better chance to be in God's garden than a lucifer affected mind. Being humble is not a stage show act. You should be humble from within.
