स्वगृहे पूज्यते मूर्खः स्वग्रामे पूज्यते प्रभुः ।
स्वदेशे पूज्यते राजा विद्वान् सर्वत्र पूज्यते ॥
Summary:
Respect normally has boundaries; only a scholar is respected without boundaries.
Details:
Though not intellectual, one is respected in one's own home by family. Love begets love. The love is conditional; children of unfortunate bad families will not have it.
A leader has respect in his domain (village or kingdom) as long as he does good or has power. Once the influence wanes, so does the respect, which is conditional.
A scholar, one who is proficient in any skill, is respected without boundaries. This respect is unconditional.
