We may sometimes wonder, "How can I stay humble amidst the devotional culture of respectfulness? If nobody would notice me, it would be easier to be humble. But when others address me with respectful honorifics like 'Prabhu' or 'Mataji', offer obesiances and sometimes even glorify me, how can I possibly stay humble?"
By accepting but not expecting respect, answers Gita wisdom. This attitude is indicated in the precise word for humility used by the Bhagavad-gita (13.8: amaanitvam), which Srila Prabhupada insightfully explains as to "not be anxious to have the satisfaction of being honored by others."

We see all devotees as his especially beloved children, for they have voluntarily chosen to live according to his will. This vision underlies the devotional culture of respectfulness.
