India won its 20th medal at the Paris Paralympics, surpassing Tokyo’s 19 — medal mark. On Wednesday, Sachin Sarjerao Khilari – silver in men’s shot put F46 event — and Harvinder Singh — gold in men’s individual recurve open — added two more medals to push India’s count to 22.

Naturally, the rise in medals has coincided with the increase in the number of Indian athletes qualifying for the Paralympics.

Humility means the state of being humble. 'If the world gives you lemons, then make lemonade,' goes the saying. Humility is a sign of greatness. The Bhagwad Gita lists humility as a laudable virtue that is integral to knowledge. Humility is not making yourself small and insignificant. It develops inner strength and stamina. It also develops a feeling of gratitude for what we have been given. It is the storehouse of all other virtues and it is, therefore, extolled as the wealth of divine grace. Truly, humility flowers when we are ready to appreciate other people's efforts and not hinder the progress of others. Buddha was walking with his disciples.

What do you have to say?' Buddha replied, 'If I gift you something and you don't take it, with whom does the gift stay?' The man said, 'with you'. Buddha smilingly responded, 'Dear sir, I do not accept your gift.'
