Value of humbleness
The value of humbleness:
Indrajitu was a younger brother of Ravana.He was one of the greatest warriors ever known.He did years of Tapasya to get various boons from Brahma.He learn't all the arts of war including Mayavi Yuddha ( Warring without being physically present ).
When he faced Lakshana in the battle field,He tried all his warfare tricks Since Lakshan was also one of the great warriors , Indrajitu couldnt make much impact.
Then he decided that he would exercise best of the 3 Astras ( Arrows).
First he sent Pashupatastra belonging to Lord Shiva.Lakshman on seeing this ,instead of sending counter Astra, dropped his Bow as well as arrows and stood with 2 hands joined in Namaskara position chanting Shiva Mantra.
The Arrow reached to Lakshman.It said How can I kill the one who worships me. I am there to destroy evil powers.It went back.
Indrajitu got Angry. Now he sent Narayanastra belonging to Lord Vishnu.Lakshman stood as he was earlier. Narayanastra which is in the form of a Chakra (wheel ) just made a round of Lakshmans body and said .I am there to cut the neck of destructive people .How can I cut the neck of a person who is bowing his head to me.I am not meant for that.It returns.
Now Indrajit got furious and frustrated. Now he pulled out the ultimate Astra.The Brahmastra.The moment he sent it, Lakshman bent his knees and told Hey lord Brahma, you are there to protect Dharma and Destroy Adharma. I came here to protect Dharma.saying so, He worships Brahma in his mind.
Brahmastra reaches Lakshman and says I am not meant for killing the one who fights for the true cause.It goes back.
Moral of the story:Even greatest of greatest Astra, Brahmasta cannot kill person with humbleness.Instead it protects the humble.

Hanumanji is one of the extraordinary being as we know.He could lift , move mountains.He could jump the see, he could travel to all 3 lokas.But never ever in his entire stint he asked even a single favour for himself. He never said I have done this. For him serving Rama was everything.Most of us know the great physical endeavours of Hanumanji.But he was also a Pundit.He learn't all 4 vedas.He masteredAshta Siddhi.Still he remained humble. He spent all of his time meditating.
Due to his unrelenting Dhyana and chanting of Rama ,Even the best of the best evil powers could not come near him.He remains as one of the 7 eternal beings and worshipped across the world.
We all just with few crores, a bunglow, a fancy car become so arrogant and egoistic that it seems there is no second person than the self.

Kannada Actor Rajkumar became an Icon through his efforts and Superlative acting. As long as he lived, whenever he used to see an elder person, he used to put his head to touch the feet of that elder person irrespective of who that elder is.When asked about this behavior he used to tell."Let not my success, glory, wealth get in to my head. This always keeps me humble."
Hence Let the darkness called "Ego and arrogancy" be overcome through a light called Humbleness . ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
