As per the Rig Veda, 'Jayasvantashyattino' always honouring respectable gentlemen. Not all men are hungry for money or luxury. Many people are hungry for respect, so respect those who are older, respect them without insulting or mocking them, do not try to portray them as small.

No matter how high the mansion of hypocrisy is built, if there are no strong bricks like “Sadwichara”, “Sadachar” or “Sanskar” in the foundation of life, eventually it comes time to be buried in it. By insulting or making fun of someone, he does not have any respect, respect or love towards us. Bitterness is added day by day from above. Deliberate snickering is as easy as serving a plate of stale confections of dishonourable insults.

In our Scriptures, there so many incidents mentioned i am mentioning few of them here.

In Yudhishthira's Rajasuya yagna, when Duryodhana fell into the water in the hall formed by Maydanavas mistaking Jalkund for water, Bhimsen laughed out loud in the assembly and Draupadi sneered. "The son of the blind must be blind!!" This sarcasm, this laughter, this joke, this mockery and the fire of insults dragged Duryodhana to the battlefield of Kurukshetra. The whole life of the abandoned Karna was laughable.

Another famous incident is, Drupada and Dronacharya were disciples of the same Guru. Drupada promised Dronacharya that he would love to help him unconditionally in the time of his need when the kingdom came into his hands. But when Daridra-Dronacharya went to a friend to ask for something, Drupada insulted him in the assembly. Made fun of him. Because of this mockery, this insult, both friends became eternal enemies.

No matter how soft words a man uses, no matter how humble he shows, his hypocritical nature is revealed in the lines of his face. Hypocrisy does not go uncaught.

Respect is at the core of every human interaction. Regardless of how old you are or what social status you hold, we all need to feel respected and valued. More respect you give others more you will get. Same thing is mentioned in our scriptures.

Every one knows Vidur respected by God Krishna, one of the highest honors for Vidur was the immense respect Lord Krishna had for him. During one of the visits to Hastinapur, Krishna chose to stay at Vidur’s home because of his trust in Vidur’s integrity and honesty. Krishna had faith in his character and his hospitality which Vidur proved right. Krishna’s stay at Vidur’s home was respectful and Krishna could sense his affection and a great hospitality. This is one of the reasons why Vidur is a highly respected character in the epic. Krishna’s respect for Vidur’s conduct and character played a huge role in depicting how Vidur chose Dharma and Truth over everything else.
