Acharya Prashant addresses a questioner who feels distressed because he does not receive appreciation from his parents or loved ones despite his efforts. Acharya Prashant explains that the desire for appreciation is a sign of inner poverty and a lack of self-worth. He suggests that those who possess truly praiseworthy qualities often lose the desire for praise, while those who hunger for it usually lack anything genuinely commendable. He urges the questioner to focus on becoming 'praiseworthy' rather than seeking 'praise,' noting that if one is not worthy of praise, then receiving it is merely mockery or sarcasm.
