There is a very thin gap between being humble and being bad in hinduism so always remember this golden rule from Advisor vidura
One should behave to others just they behave with you. This is consistent with social polity. One should behave deceitfully if someone is behaving deceitfully with you and one should be honest with those who are honest with you. [ vidura neeti : shloka 188]
