The fifth one of the maladies of the heart is the love of being praised and being exalted by others.
The reason of wanting to be praised rests with the person's self love and thinking of himself as
good and superior. Being praised tastes very sweet to this type of person. A person having this
malady should think that this is not a real superiority and goodness or even if one presumes as it
is goodness, one should think that it is transitory. Broader coverage of this subject will be given
later on while the subject matter conceit (Kibr) is explained (e.g., see section 12).
