Best way to respect someone

The best way to respect everything and everyone in the universe is by respecting [worshiping] Brahman. आकाशात् पतितं तोयं यथा गच्छति सागरं । सर्व देव नमस्कार केशवं प्रति गच्छति ॥ As the rain drops falling from the clouds (sky) ultimately go [merge] in the ocean, Devotion to any Deity goes to Brahman [Iśvar]. As we have learnt from the 1st Chapter of the Aitareya Upanishad that the Deities are the body parts of Brahman [VIRAT PURUSHA], we may say that devotion to any deity [a portion of Brahman] goes to [a portion of] Brahman Himself. Similarly, devotion to Brahman [complete body, aggregation of all the body parts] automatically goes to all the deities [parts of the body, VIRAT PURUSHA = Brahman]. Let us take a small illustration: We have different body parts: hands, legs, belly, back etc. Now, if we pour water only on our belly we can say that water touches our body. Similarly, if we pour water on our back, again, we can say that water touches our body. Although water, in this case, touches only a part of our body not the entire body but still it is correct that water touches our body as the part of our body that water touches is not different from our body. The body-part is an integral part of our body itself. So, anything related to the parts of our body is directly related to the entire body. Similarly, devotion to any Deity, which is a body part of VIRAT PURUSHA [Brahman], verily goes to Brahman [the entire body]. Now, if we pour water on the entire body, automatically water would touch all the parts of the body. Thus, devotion to Brahman [the entire body] automatically goes to all the deities [the body parts].

The Cosmic Person, PURUSHA, [VIRAT] who is the totality of the world-guardians [deities] [Devatas] [demigods or gods] is non other than BRAHMAN.

As we learnt from the 1st Chapter of the Aitareya Upanishad that in the beginning the planets, galaxies, stars and everything that exist did not exist as separate entities but altogether as one dense mass. At this time Brahman's MAYA [the illusionary power of Brahman] was inactive because of which there was no differentiations of names and forms.

The many things in this universe and the universe itself that we know, with all different names and forms [like water is different from table both in name and form] are all illusion superimposed upon Brahman through Maya.

BRAHMAN Himself has projected Himself as the whole universe by His illusionary power, MAYA. BRAHMAN has manifested Himself as the universe through His power of MAYA.

Similarly, there is no difference between BRAHMAN and PURUSHA. Both are one God and the same. The only difference is that Brahman has projected Himself as PURUSHA through MAYA i.e. Purusha is the effect of Maya whereas Brahman's Ultimate form is beyond Maya. PURUSHA is the manifestation of the unmanifest, formless Brahman superimposed through MAYA.

PURUSHA is the totality, the aggregate of all the Deities [Devatas] [everything in the universe]. Devatas are body parts of Purusha. So, if one worships Purusha one is actually worshiping all the Devatas at the same time. Worshiping Purusha means worshiping Brahman and all the Deities at the same time.

Let us worship Purusha. Let us worship Brahman. Let us worship all the Deities put together leaving no one left out.

Holy Scriptures
We water the roots and the branches both but the main target are the roots. Still the branches are not waste. Even they are taken into consideration because if they were a waste they wouldn't have grown at all and the plant would have confined to roots only. So, we take care of the entire tree not only of the roots.

On continuation towards philosophy, one who knows the root is at the highest level of consciousness, called fully bloomed (plz refer Padma Puran). Who is not self actualized needs engagement to devotion as well and there comes the question of devtas and the devotion gets ignited. The budding and blooming consciousness human based on their proportion of tamasik and rajasik gUn engage themselves to devtas. All ends up to the Supreme.

Scientists say , a time comes when the whole universe comes nearer to black hole , it becomes a dense mass smaller than a pea and enters in to the black hole .it remains there for the next creation .There r innumerable black holes in the cosmos .oh what a God's creation!
