The Mother of Sri Aurobindo Ashram with Dyuman

Sweet Mother,

For a long time I have noticed that I am rather shy. I always have an inferiority complex. I think I am afraid that people will discover my ignorance. Why am I like that? And how can I come out of it?

Behind all that and this famous inferiority complex, there is the ego and its vanity which wants to cut a good figure and be appreciated by others. But if all your activity were an offering to the Divine, you would not care at all about the appreciation of others.
