make it to the top because of others, you laugh now;
fall from the top and pass them on the way down,
you'll cry later
In previous versions of human civilization, respect wasn't simply reserved for the rich, famous, and powerful, but was generously offered to all living beings. And for those seriously pursuing a genuine spiritual path, respect was especially offered, because it was understood that they were performing the greatest service to society. By advocating and showing a practical example of dedication to the actual human calling, they inspired many to also walk the essential yet not so traveled path of self-realization.
How do we recognize a genuinely spiritual person? By their dress? Hairstyle? Title? A strong belief in a better next life? Religious affiliation or lack thereof? Proficiency at yoga asanas or mystical feats like levitation or producing valuable items out of thin air? Or maybe because they have the gift of the gab and hoards of adoring followers? In Bhagavad Gita, Arjuna, as a sincere seeker of truth, asks Krishna this very question, and Krishna’s nonsectarian and objectively verifiable reply makes sense:
“O Arjuna, when a person gives up all selfish desires, which come from an uncontrolled mind, and when his mind is purified, finding satisfaction in the self alone, then he is said to be in pure nonmaterial consciousness.”
Going deep, beyond superficial appearances, the genuinely spiritual person is recognized by having immaculate personal qualities and is self-satisfied, possessing the pure desire to serve the Supreme and all living beings. Such an authentic individual is watering the root of the tree of existence with every word, thought, and deed, thereby offering the best service to all. Certainly, it's in our highest self-interest to offer him or her sincere respect, gratitude, and assistance.
