When a person is either planning in in the process of execution of some activity in furtherance of either dharma or rules of propriety, or in fulfilment of his fond desires or with a view to earn some profit, he should not talk about the work or disclose to others his plan of action. He should only show the results of his successful projects. If he is careful in following this advice, he can live assured that his plans are not interfered with destructively or obstructed by powers that may be.
