One should consider himself as if he does not exist, as it states in the Talmud86Talmud Bavli, Sota 21b regarding the verse,87Job 28:12 “Wisdom is found from nothingness.” The intention is that one should consider himself as if he is not in this world, in which case it is of no consequence to him whether he is important in the eyes of others or not.
