World's praise and derision

World will praise one moment and decry the next. So don't pay any attention to the world.

Recall the BhartRhari nItishataka

निन्दन्तु नीति निपुणा: यदि वा स्तुवन्तु

लक्ष्मी: समाविशतु गच्छतु वि यथेष्टं ।

अद्यैववा मरणमस्तु युगान्तरे वा

न्याय्यात्पथ: प्रविचलन्ति पदं न धीरा: ॥

Whether those skilled in ethics praise them or deride them,

Whether the Goddess of Wealth resides with them or departs according to Her will,

Whether death comes today or after a Yuga,
The wise do not deviate from the path of righteousness.

Again, recall the Bhagavad GItA says कृपणा: फलहेतव: kRpaNah phala hetavah (those who are motivated by fruits of the actions are miserable).

Yet from sAdhanA this is not an attitude of rejection of world but of humorous observation of mind, acknowledging the Power of Devi as the world to praise or deride the ego.
