Even a Man Who Has Finished the Third Mountain Can be Disrespected
Certainly though such a man or woman would inspire respect
from those who know him or her and invisibly from those who do not know him or
her but come into contact with him/her in daily life.
This respect is due to the Being (up to Kether) of the
person being incarnated and the fact that there is no karmic reason to be disrespected.
It seems like anything is possible in life on this planet.
However, it can happen though that at the markets such a
person can be spoken to in a very disrespected manner.
Of course, though it is not so good for the one who disrespects
such a person, but because they do not know they are forgiven…
Lesson: if even such a person can be disrespected, we have
to come to the conclusion that true respect is inside of oneself.
In fact all respect starts with self-respect first.
Self-Respect First
Respect is giving ourselves freedom and plenitude within and
respecting with dignity our own inner divinity. This respect is inside of ourselves
and goes from our essence to our inner Divinity and it does not demand others
to respect us.
To demand others to respect us is to not be respecting our inner Divinity. It is absurd really. Why should we expect others to do what we do not do for ourselves?
Such a respect for the inner Being within ourselves allows the
awareness and will to pervade our life with respect and this most certainly includes
treating all others with respect.
We can only give what we have, and if we have no
self-respect we have to way to respect others, or the government, laws or
anything else, even our own parents.
When we demand respect from others or are upset because we were
not respected we loose the sight of the Being in us, which then sight of what
it is to respect and we act in an undignifying way inside and outside of
ourselves.
End (2477).
