[Śrī Ganesh asked: Padanamaskaram Swamiji! Whenever I do any work, whether it be divine work or worldly work, I always expect praise for my work. I think it is because I have some amount of inferiority complex within me. I do not know how to get over this problem. Please guide me. At Your divine feet, Ganesh V. ]
Swami replied: Praise for good work encourages the soul to do more good work. But if good work is done with a view to pleasing God, the above-mentioned psychology will disappear because the ultimate goal is to please God and not to get encouragement through praise.
