Rajaji would translate this as:
It is well for every one to be meek, but for those Who have wealth, meekness is an added possession.
While it is good for all to be meek, it becomes a special ornament for the rich. In fact, when a rich man does not possess it, the resultant offensiveness can be unbearable. Humility of deportment does not detract from learning and wealth; on the contrary it enhances their worth. For as Saadi has stated, 'The beloved of the Almighty are the rich, who have the humility of the poor".
