DEUT486 Thus, in order to purify one's thought in the domain of corporal actions, one must continually scrutinize the base nature of the [physical] world and its pleasures, as I have written. But to purify one's thought in the type of deeds devoted to the service of the Eternal, one must expand his awareness of the delusory nature of honor and the deceptions that are connected with it, and he must train himself to flee from honor. Consequently, when he is occupied with serving the Eternal, he will be cleansed of the influence that comes from the admiration and praise of his fellows, and his thought will be directed solely to our Master, Whom we extol and Who is [the source of] all our goodness and perfection -- there is none other. Similarly, it states [this verse]: "He is your praise and He is your God."
