अपि निपुणतरमधीतं दुर्विनयारूढचेतसः पुंसः।
मणिरिव फणीफणवर्ती प्रभवति शोकाय लोकानाम्॥

A very frank and introspective wise saying
========
If a person is not humble about himself and about what he has achieved and his great learning or accomplishment too would cause only distress and chaos in the world.
It is just a precious gem embedded in the hood of a venomous snake.
=========
Yes, even a little learning makes a man forget himself and makes his arrogant. He shows off and causes a lot of trouble for others. In history, we have seen some learned scholars inviting others for destructive discussions, and even causing their death or disgrace.
Intolerance is the evil side of scholarship..
The precious gem on the hood of a cobra is attractive. But if we try to see it or handle it, the snake would bite us to death..
The attitude of many learned people are not far different..
Maybe, they have knowledge in plenty, but they will not share nor will they teach.
They would use the knowledge to insult others.
That is a fact.
A little humility can add a lot of sweetness to the knowledge one has..
Regards have a nice day
