Das Lakshana - Humility
Often times, there are things that can lead a person to gain pride. Things such as wealth, intelligence, and gaining materialistic objects can lead one to become deeply attached to these things and leads to unhappiness. The best option to avoid this unhappiness is to have a sense of humility. In my opinion, having humility is the best way to stay down to earth and remain happy. If you become involved in your own belongings, it will lead to a viscous cycle of misery and pain. There is a certain limit to having pride and as long as one is within this realm, one will remain humble and live a peaceful life.

As long as you remain humble, you will never experience the tremendous highs and lows life has to offer. Many times we experience a sense of over/ under-confidence in our abilities as a person and we take that to the next limit. In a sense, if we have a deep understanding of our past leading to our present, we know to respect that we make our own being, not our belongings.
