Honour
The materially situated person is
affected by so-called honour and dishonour
offered to the body, but the transcendentally
situated person is not affected by such
false honour and dishonour.
- BG 14:22-25, purport -
One should know by the cultivation of real knowledge that he is
not lord of material nature; the Supreme Personality of Godhead
is the Lord. When one is free from delusion caused by pride, he
can begin the process of surrender. For one who is always
expecting some honour in this material world, it is not possible
to surrender to the Supreme Person. - BG 15:5, purport -
