A photo of a man paying respect by touching the feet of a cleaning lady at the Mahakumbh is going viral, sparking several important discussions.
The image speaks volumes, conveying multiple key messages.
First and foremost, showing respect to others—especially those considered "less privileged"—does not lower our own dignity - it does not diminish our own stature.
True stature lies in humility.
Second, contrary to popular narratives, not all Indians adhere to the notions of upper and lower castes or class divisions.
In fact, Respect, humility, modesty, and politeness toward everyone— kindness toward all living beings - including nature — are deeply embedded core values of the Indian culture.
Lastly, true respect for sanitation workers is not just in gestures but in actions by keeping our surroundings clean - it means not littering in the first place.
Be responsible—do not litter, and choose eco-friendly, biodegradable products to protect our fragile ecosystem.
Great teaching.. ๐

The soul in me bows down to the soul in you. You can get blessings from anywhere and in any form—you never really know!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful ๐
ReplyDeleteThe concept of Caste, creed etc. exists up there in head. By touching feet you simply receive blessing. This realization comes after implementing Satguru's teaching in life ๐๐
ReplyDeleteTruly Great example of true Humanity and Divinity

ReplyDeleteAmazing example for humanity and respect for others
ReplyDeleteAny work done for others needs to be applauded and appreciated. Humanity first. ๐๐๐๐
ReplyDeleteThat is what saints have been preaching all along ❤️
ReplyDeleteBesides sense of humility, bowing before others, may be till feet, is friend winning emotion and has in-built connecting power. Japaneese are renowned all over world for this gesture. In SNM, it's already a practice for all followers notwithstanding class, caste, race, colour, region, religion of others. However, video going viral is a lesson for all of us to learn and imbibe in our day to day lifestyle.
