"Lord Krishna said, let Me now illustrate to you what it means by Amanitva.
A person who doesn't like comparisons. He feels burdened by praises. Amidst the shower of praises and widely admired, having attained high level of regard, prestige, and public recognition for excellence, character, or contributions, he who becomes restless like a deer caught by hunter, or caught in the whirlpool while swimming. Finds public acclaim distressful. Even when the recognition comes, remains grounded. Hearing praises or admiration is found distasteful, do not allow eyes to behold your own glory. Do not like rememberace as a distinguished person. People bowing in honour is found equivalent to death. Wise like Bruhaspati, symbolizing wisdom and knowledge, yet feigns madness to stay away from public acclaim. Keep brilliance low, practice modesty and apparent madness is flaunted. Stay away from fame, credit. Lack of interest for the bookish wisdom described as the theoretical or parrot-like repeating of facts without genuine internal realization or application in one's life. Dwells in tranquility. Wants to be disregarded by the world. There is a kind of aloofness from family, relatives. Does everything needed to inculcate humility. Yearns a living so unassuming that people don't even know he exists. People find his movement as subtle as the wind. Wants to be a non entity, it's a desire to dissolve the "name-form" and just flow with existence, becoming a part of life's grand scheme, not separate from it. He wants people to flee him due to fear. Loves to dwell in uninhabited place and remains absorbed in solitude. He has harmonious relationship with the wind, loves conversation with the sky, and has a deep profound love for trees. These are the characteristics of the person who has attained KNOWLEDGE Realization. They ascertain whether the person has attained Amanitva. Let Me now describe to you Adambhitva."
