Jayapataka Swami: There is a book by the famous author, Dale Carnegie, How to Make Friends and Influence People. Basically, the whole book is on the third verse of the Śikṣāṣṭakam. Be humble, praise other people, don’t expect any praise for yourself. You will influence people, you will make friends, that will influence people to make friends. How to practically apply? What is the difficulty? Be humble, be tolerant, offer respect to others, don’t expect respect for yourself. Not so difficult.
