On respect, for Haripada dasa
We all understand and accept that respect is the basis of coexistence, when there is no respect there are envy, offenses, criticism, wars, etc., Srila Prabhupada always said that you do not have to be anxious for others to respect you, but inspire respect , and the Gurudeva of Srila Prabhupada when he saw that two disciples did not get along, called them and put them face to face and said to one, you glorify your spiritual brother, and then he said to the other, you glorify your spiritual brother so they appreciated each other and the problem disappeared.
In relation to the theme there is a very interesting story in the 4 chant of the Bhagavatam, in 4, 3, 22, it is said that my dear and young wife, it is true that friends and family exchange greetings getting up, welcoming each other and offering obeisances. But those who have risen to the transcendental plane are intelligent and offer those signs of respect to the Supersoul, which is within the body, and not to the person who identifies with the body, and in the meaning Srila Prabhupada says that someone could argue that, being Dakṣa his father-in-law, Lord Śiva certainly had a duty to pay his respects. In response to that argument, in this verse it is explained that the learned person, when he gets up or when he offers obeisances of welcome, is paying his respects to the Supersoul, which is in everyone's heart. Therefore, among the Vaiṣṇavas or devotees of Krishna we can see how even when a disciple offers obeisances to his spiritual master, he immediately responds with his, because that exchange of reverences is not being offered to the body, but to the Supersoul. Therefore, the spiritual master also offers obeisances to the Supersoul that is in the body of the disciple. In Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, the Lord says that being respectful of His devotee is more valuable than being respectful of Him. Devotees do not identify with the body; so that being respectful of a Vaiṣṇava means being with Viṣṇu. It is also explained that, as a matter of etiquette, as soon as a Vaiṣṇava is seen, one must present due respect immediately, attending to the Supersoul that is in him. The Vaiṣṇava sees the body as a temple of Viṣṇu. Lord Śiva, being aware of Kṛiṣhṇa, had already presented due respect to the Supersoul, and therefore he had already paid his respects to Dakṣa, who identified with the body. There was no need to offer respects to the body, since no Vedic injunction orders it.
Courage, and all together let's try to make Jagat-guru Srila Prabhupada Mahasaya happy.
