Prime Minister Narendra Modi has shared a short yet reflective post from his official account (@narendramodi) on the social media platform X, offering his thoughts on the link between human relationships and inner confidence.
What the Post Said
In his message, the Prime Minister underlined that when a person receives affectionate respect and acceptance, it awakens a sense of pride and contentment within them. According to him, this very feeling strengthens a person's self confidence while also stirring up fresh energy and enthusiasm.
The Shloka He Shared
To add depth to his thought, the Prime Minister also included a Sanskrit shloka:
त्वत्सम्भावितमात्मानं बहु मन्यामहे वयम् ।
प्रायः प्रत्ययमाधत्ते स्वगुणेषूत्तमादरः।।
The essence of the verse is that respect received from noble and virtuous people deepens one's belief in one's own qualities. Put differently, when the respected figures of society appreciate someone, that person too begins to value themselves more highly.
Public Reaction
The post drew mixed responses from users. Many praised it as a reflection of Indian tradition and values, while some carried the thought forward by adding their own perspectives. A few others, however, raised questions around foreign policy and recent developments.
