Boasting about ourselves is a stone that hinders our progress... Simplicity is the stepping stone for our progress...

Spiritual person, theist, atheist, politician – any name you only keep for yourself. To whatever kind you may belong, the thing that is going to be a blocking stone for your progress is going to be only your boasting nature.

The tree of boasting has come up only from the seed of meanness.

The seed of meanness, which has somehow entered into man at some time in his life, will be pricking him continuously. The nature of boasting is that which has appeared by itself only to forget and hide this feeling.

The side effect of boasting is that it will push the feeling of meanness a little deeper inside man. Irritation would rather increase a little.

Whoever you may be, if you have not achieved in conformity with the resources you have put in, understand then... only your nature of boasting must have diverted you from the path of achievement and total success.

Find out the useless nature of boasting and throw it out. If the pride is removed, then, meanness, which is the inner face, will also disappear.

Life can be lived beautifully if one goes beyond boasting and meanness, the two blocking stones for progress. Make times of boasting and meanness into meditation times!
