R-E-S-P-E-C-T

So many people want "respect" of one kind or another, or they will be offended and kill you--so great is the urge to get "respect". Actually, respect is commanded, not demanded, and it is not the business of the devotee to go around demanding it. His business is to feel that he is "lower than a worm in stool" and not stay in the "respect-demanding" business. The prayer runs"more tolerant than a tree, lower than the steaw in the street", and the follower of that prayer in fact is a true bhakta.
