We ultimately learn respect for the masters by interacting with them...
Of course it is best to start with some respect. Usually the definition of a master inspires some kind of respect within us.
Later with our interaction we deepen that respect. However it starts from within us.
When we do petitions to the masters or invoke them, we are interacting with them internally.
By visualizing while making a petition we are in their presence. Then we will feel what is appropriate and inappropriate.
What we feel is appropriate is concentration, clean, clear and noble language, beautiful imagery, appreciation, honour etc. etc.
When we do the opposite of what we feel is inappropriate, we start to deepen our respect.
This way we prepare ourselves for when we meet the masters physically.
