Westerners reserve worship/prostration for G-d & merely respect/salute human beings, because of prohibitions against idolatry. But, Asians often use the same word for both worship & respect (eg, vaengdima වැඳීම in Sinhala), & bow to the ground before both G-d(s) & humans.

The cringing Train of Pow’r, survey;
What Creatures are so low as they!
With what obsequiousness they bend!
To what vile actions condescend!
Their Rise is on their Meanness built,
And Flatt’ry is their smallest Guilt.Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) American statesman, scientist, philosopher, aphorist
Poor Richard (1741 ed.)Sourcing, notes: wist.info/franklin-benjamin/78…
