We should ask ourselves, am I the speaker? If you think I want some credit from speaking then you are not the speaker. You are dancing and chanting in front the deity, if you think of people to see, think of name, fame, adoration then you are not really chanting.

You cannot cheat pure devotees. You can only cheat yourself. This is not material life. Oh, I will be cunning! I will cheat them! This is spiritual life. You are cheating yourself. Sad-guru knows what is best for you. He has no interest of his own.
