Bhagavad Geeta 16.15
Sanskrit
आढ्योऽभिजनवानस्मि कोऽन्योऽस्ति सदृशो मया।यक्ष्ये दास्यामि मोदिष्य इत्यज्ञानविमोहिताः।।16.15।।
āḍhyo ’bhijanavān asmi ko ’nyo ’sti sadṛiśho mayā yakṣhye dāsyāmi modiṣhya ity ajñāna-vimohitāḥ aneka-chitta-vibhrāntā moha-jāla-samāvṛitāḥ prasaktāḥ kāma-bhogeṣhu patanti narake ’śhuchau
Meaning
Arrogance blinds leaders to reality. True strength lies in humble action and service, not self-congratulation or status. Success requires constant learning, not assumption of superiority.
Translation
'I am wealthy and of noble birth; who else is like me? I shall perform sacrifices; I shall give, I shall rejoice'- thus, they are deluded by a lack of discernment in diverse ways.
