When two persons know they are unequal in position or background, they may be at peace when in discourse with each other because each may know how to behave with the other and there may be no grievance or grumbling on either side. Certainly there is the question of humanity involved and on the basis of the fact that all persons are human beings, there should be no question of any difference in behaviour. In the practical world, however, there may be many gradations and the same person may be a superior to one and subordinate to another. From this practical aspect, it is necessary that two such unequal persons may meet and if they are aware of their rights and duties, there may be no hitch and the relationship or contact may go on smoothly. While meeting socially, not officially, it is for the superior to come down and not for the subordinate to come up.
It would be wrong for a superior to show official aloofness, but he has to behave normally taking interest in the person who may happen to be placed below him. It is he who should ask about all the problems and provide all the moral assistance and let the other person feel secure and at ease. For the person who happens to be lower in position, it may appear to be awkward or unnatural if he tries to compete with others who are his superiors, at the same time remembering that beyond the official relationship in the outside social world, humanity counts a great deal and he should not feel inferior even if his position is lower. If such a man can bring to the forefront all his other gentlemanly qualities, he will earn his place in this gathering outside the official sphere; only he has to know the line demarcating politeness from flattery, and smartness from insolence.
