I have a constant feeling that I am not doing enough for you. I also feel some envy when you praise someone else. How do I deal with this feeling?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:

This is the nature of love, you always feel that you want to do more and more. A mother always feels that she wants to do more for the daughter. She feels like she has not done enough for her daughter. It is the nature of love to want to do more.
When love is diminishing, then you feel or say, ‘Oh, I have done enough! I have done all that I could!’ That is when frustration has stepped in. The day you feel that way, then know that there is some tiredness or frustration; the spirit is going down.
