We all have the habit of boasting about ourselves, after having helped others .But can you tell me, if this is the right thing to do ??
We might not do this intentionally but we all have in the back of our minds that we are helping others in some way or the other.
And this feeling that we're helping others makes us very conscious and we always boast to others about what help we have done to somebody else.
This telling others about the help they have rendered to somebody else is actually not giving a good Karma, because when you help others you do that because you have the potential to help others.
So what is the need of boasting about yourself?? When you know that the person you have helped has not got the capacity as you.
I will tell you about a situation where this thing has happened.
Case 1
A girl named Rita was a very high paid IT officer working in Bombay. Once her mother who lived in a small town in Orissa, had to get operated for knee surgery at Bombay. So the mother had visited to her daughter to Bombay. But soon after the surgery was done in a very high paid hospital in Bombay,this girl seemed to boast about herself to her parents. She told them, β I have done so much for you, you could have done nothing without my helpβ.
In this way, she went on saying such things.At a point of time, during the post operation period of three months, Rita boasted about herself so much that her parents started feeling low. Rita told her dad, β Your insurance could not cover mother's knee surgery, what kind of medical insurance have you done??β
Hearing this the father felt very sad and he could not take it anymore when Rita accused her dad about not having a high income.
Before the 3 months of post surgery period could end, the father got his ticket to return back to his place and never to ask his daughter for help.
Now, if kind of situation arises, then how are you helping others ????? When you boast so much about yourself after having helped, then where lies your good Karma???
Friends, we all have a tendency to do such things. So we must always remember that if you boast about yourself and feel proud about yourself after having helped others then it's meaningless to help others.
