When someone respects you, it is not because you possess some virtues,
it is because of their generosity, their greatness. If you say God is
great, it makes YOU great. God is anyway already great, you saying so
doesn't affect God.
When you respect someone, it only shows your own magnanimity. How many
people you don't respect in the world, that much less is your wealth. If
you respect everyone in the world, that much more is your value. Wiser
is the one who respects everyone.
Question : But Gurudev, you can't respect a terrorist!
Sri Sri : You have to respect a terrorist too because he shows you the
way at his own cost.
Respectfulness is a quality of refined consciousness. Respect for the
Self is faith. Faith is being open.
If you are open, you are close.
If you are close, you cannot but open up.
- Sri Sri
