00:00Is it okay to seek recognition in the work we do?
00:03See, the primary love has to be towards the work, not towards the recognition you get from the work.
00:09Now, if recognition is important to take the work forward, then in that case, one must go after recognition.
00:20The primary relationship has to be with the work itself.
00:24Do I love my work? Is my work worth doing? Am I working for the right cause?
00:29You are seeking recognition so as to offer that recognition to the work itself.
00:35You are seeking recognition as a resource to be used towards the work itself.
00:40Now, it's fine. The urge to be recognized or felicitated or be known, think about it, might tell of some kind of dissatisfaction with the work itself.
00:54My point is, choose the work so rightly and be immersed in it so deeply that recognition and other things that you get from work stop mattering or matter as little as possible.
01:08Then if recognition comes, let it be like a surprise.
01:11It is great to work and not be garlanded and it's very scary if you are garlanded and you do not know where is the work that led to all this.
01:22Your relationship with your work is your foremost relationship in life.
01:26That's the one deep love affair each of us needs to have, love towards work.
01:33If that intimate relationship we do not have, then life becomes very tedious.
