CANDRAVEDHYAKA PRAKĪRṆAKA : 9
The masters capable of imparting the complete knowledge of scriptures are rare and so are the teachers and disciples without the four passions (kaṣāyas).
The discerning people certainly praise the humility of the householders as well as that of the ordained monks, but the insolent do not earn fame and glory in the world.
Owing to the flaws of their karmic influence, some (people) do not wish to practice humility even though they know about it.
The fame and glory of the man or woman, who is sense restrained and endowed with the characteristic of humility, effortlessly spreads throughout the world.
The learning of the fortunate men fructifies, but not for those not blessed with luck.
