You are considered good only as long as somebody better is not around. :-) Translation (arth) – When the moon is around, the tiny stars shine brightly and think of themselves as mighty but as soon as the sun appears on horizon, the stars disappear.

When the real person (sun) comes out, the moon hides along with the stars. Thus happens, when there are no people of knowledge around." Here it is, translated from Kabir Granthawali (in Hindi):

“Amongst people with ordinary knowledge (stars), a knowledgeable person (moon) gets praised like the moon. When the real person (sun) comes out, the moon hides along with the stars. Thus happens, when there are no people of knowledge around.”

In mentor-ship context probably you still need to explain.
