Modi shares Sanskrit shloka conveying message of humility and continuous learning

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi today shared a Sanskrit shloka, emphasizing the importance of remaining humble despite achieving limited success and moving forward by continuously learning.

The Prime Minister wrote on 'X' (Twitter): "खद्योतो द्योतते तावद् यावन्नोदयते शशी। उदिते तु सहस्रांशौ न खद्योतो न चन्द्रमाः।।" Explaining the meaning of the shloka, it was stated that a lamp appears to shine only until the moon rises; once the sun rises, neither the light of the lamp nor the moon is visible. Similarly, the importance of a small or limited achievement lasts only until something better or greater comes before it. Therefore, instead of becoming arrogant upon achieving limited success, one should remain humble and continue to progress by constantly learning.
