devotee is automatically pleasing and honored

[Guest guest]

Unto one who has transcendental qualities due to friendly behavior with the

Supreme Personality of Godhead, all living entities offer honor, just as

water automatically flows down by nature.

....Since Dhruva Maharaja was blessed by the Lord, due to his transcendental

qualities everyone was bound to offer him all respects and benediction, just

as water, by its nature, flows downward. A devotee of the Lord does not

demand respect from anyone, but wherever he goes he is honored by everyone

throughout the whole world with all respect. Srinivasa Acarya said that the

six Gosvamis of Vrndavana are respected throughout the entire universe

because a devotee, having pleased the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the

source of all emanations, automatically pleases everyone, and thus everyone

offers him respect.
