dattātreya uvāca
mānāpamānau yāvetau pratyudvegakarau nṛṇām /
tāveva viparītārthau yoginaḥ siddhikārakau //
Dattātreya spoke:
Respect and disrespect, which two things cause men pleasure and distress, these are opposites and effect the yogi’s final bliss. Respect and disrespect, these two things men indeed describe as poison and ambrosia; of them disrespect is ambrosia, but respect is a dire poison.
