Do your job the best you can do, and don’t expect any appreciation.

Do your job the best you can do, and don’t expect any appreciation. Appreciation is result-oriented.

And the person who is hankering for appreciation can never never do good work; never – because he is half-hearted. He is looking to the result and what others will think. He is not totally in the work.

Be total in your work. The prize is in it; the award is intrinsic. You enjoy – that is your award. If they enjoy, that is their award. If they don’t enjoy, that is their misery. So let them be miserable. Don’t be worried about it – just do your work as best you can.

Nobody is worried because of anybody else. You are not worried because of them; they are not worried because of you. You are worried because of you, and they are worried because of them. It is that simple. Just enjoy and see.

Feeling is dangerous for society, because a feeling person cannot be dominated, cannot be regimented; he is a rebel and a thinking person is always a slave. Once you believe in logic, you believe in regimentation. Once you become too rational you become mechanical. Reason is

a mechanism. Then your whole life is turned into a mechanical routine, and society needs, wants, efficient people – not alive people. Mechanically perfect – existentially dead. So remember that. And whenever you feel that you are shifting towards thinking, always bring

yourself back towards feeling. Even if everything is lost and feeling is saved, everything is saved.

And if you lose feeling and everything is saved, nothing is saved.
