Swabhimaan - respecting self is what you have to begin with first in this life. Respecting yourself will command respect from everybody else automatically and naturally. People will always respect and have great regard towards an individual who is confident, wise, experienced, and has built an authority to comment on life and living as a whole. Unless you value yourself, nobody values you. You should realize how unique you are and try to understand your Swabhava and be according to that. Any projection of yourself will not command respect. Only when you become your true self you start gaining respect from everybody whom you encounter in your life to start with.
Once you realize how unique you are and the opportunity of you being born on this earth to understand your own self and getting insight into every aspect of life and living will transform you into a true human being. Life have to lived through understanding it thoroughly inside out. The real journey of life is internal and integral to your being. Once you know your intrinsic nature and its value, it is very easy for you to understand the extrinsic world. Outside is just a reflection of your true self.
Once you realize that you are a product of nature born in a natural setting then everything prevailing around you including your own self is part of the whole ecological process which is evolving time immemorial. You are part or integral of the ongoing process of nature. You are a part of the whole process like a spoke in a wheel.
Once you come to know of the essence of your being, the core concept, everything gets revealed gradually over the course of time.
Being Enlightened does not mean who knows everything, it implies that he is ready to accept the nature's outcome obediently by being in the conscious state all the time. An Enlightened being lives life consciously by being in the present observing and absorbing all the happenings within and outside of himself.
You will respect your own self only when you realize who you really are. Spirituality is a path to realize and understand your true self, the spirit in you, and you will start respecting your being. You will become Swabhimani - self respecting in the whole process.
Respect your own self thereby respecting life and start living consciously
