Alpudepudu Baluku aadambaramuganu
Sajjanundu Paluku Challaganu
Kanchu mogunatlu Kanakambu Moguna
Viswadha Abhirama Vinura vema.
Telugu Version :
అల్పుడెపుడు బల్కు ఆడంబరముగాను ,
సజ్జనుండు పలుకు చల్లగాను ,
కంచు మొగునట్లు కనకంబు మోగునా ?
విశ్వదాభిరామ వినురవేమ
Meaning : A foolish or a moron would continuously blow his trumpet and speaks high about his actions without even doing any good to anyone.Where as a noble person speaks softly maintaining a low profile and being humble .One needs to understand the difference between the sounds made by Bronze and Gold.Will Gold make the sound of a Bronze object ? tough it is costlier than Bronze? Like wise we should be humble and modest rather than feeling proud and being arrogant.
Story : When Ravana ,the demon king abducted Seeta and took her to Lanka,the sorrowful Rama along with Lakshmana started searching for Seeta and in that process reached Kishkinda ,made friends with Sugriva and empowered hanuman who was a famous devotee of Rama ,to go to Lanka to enquire the welfare of Sita.Hanuman the Vayuputra is known for his bravery and courage ,yet very humble (though some call it diffidence)In the process of searching for sita in Lanka he humbly pleaded Sita to accept him as the devotee of Rama and expressed his loyalty and reverence towards Rama .Though capable ,he agreed to fo back to Rama to inform and bring him back with the troops to wage war against Ravana.
On contrary,Ravana, is so proud of his wealth,bravery and power that he demeaned everyone including his own brother.When he got to know about Hanuman's unauthorised entry into Lanka he was very furious and wanted to show his power by killing Hanuman.He summoned Hanuman to his court and insulted im,yet Hanuman kept quiet .
This story tells us to be humble and speak softly with others .
