Respect from others is attained when there is a connection with the divinity within. 

Projection: Every human being has innate worth which is pure and divine. Faith in the self brings out the potential within and this brings respect for the self. Self-respect makes us self-reliant and makes others respect us too. 

Solution: In order to get respect from others, I need to connect to my own inner divine qualities, which increase my own self-respect. For this let me find something unique in myself and each morning let me remind myself of this speciality. Also I need to make sure I work at least once with this speciality throughout the day.

The Location And The Form Of The Soul (cont.) 

All of the characteristics present in the soul are subtle or non-dimensional (without size) in nature - thoughts, feelings, emotions, decision-making power, personality traits (‘sanskars’) and so on. If they are all without size, then it is reasonable to conclude that the living, conscious energy, the soul, from which they emerge is also sizeless. For this simple reason it is eternal (beyond life and death). Something which has no physical size cannot be destroyed. As a soul I am neither spread throughout the whole body nor am I an invisible duplicate of the physical body. Even though the body of subtle energy exists inside the physical body, it is the effect of the soul being in the physical form and not the soul itself. Just as the sun is in one place and yet its light radiates throughout the solar system, the soul is in one place and its energy is spread throughout the whole body. To express something that exists but has no physical dimensions we can use the word point. The soul therefore, is an extremely small point of conscient (living) light. For the sake of having an image to fix our minds on we can say its star like in appearance. In deep meditation we can experience the soul as an extremely small point of non-physical light surrounded by an oval-shaped aura.
