"Why praise the Lord? Praise of the Lord is not for His sake.

By praising the Lord, one’s pride gets

diminished; the attitude, "I have accomplished all this" goes away. An insecure person thinks about
the greatness of his accomplishments to feel more secure. But sooner or later, his ego will get
deflated. Whenever an ego gets inflated, deflation is sure to follow, just like an inflated balloon will
eventually burst. The ego is like a big bloated bladder of bluffs. Such an ego can be diminished by
knowing that all of one’s glories belong to the Lord. The glory of seeing, of hearing, of thinking, or of
any accomplishment or skill are all the glories of the Lord who is the source of all glories".
