Hypocrisy

When someone calls me bad names, that makes me happy, but I
am troubled when someone praises me. Praise should be such that
afterwards no denial comes. Otherwise, that praise is hypocrisy.
Someone who is a hypocrit is worse that an unbeliever - Surely
the hypocrites will be in the lowest reach of the fire. {4: 145}

I wish someone would explain this quote for me! Do bad names make him happy because he can learn from them?

Called bad names makes him humble. Praising him may make him proud and egoistic.
