The Importance of Honesty and Dishonor

In Vedanta, we classify persons into these four categories: Pamara, Vishai, sadhaka, and Siddha. Pamara is the lowest in the sense of a person who is sort of instinctive, almost just an almost animalish driven by just the motive of pleasure and gain. The spiritual person's attitude is whenever I face suffering, so for example, insert and dishonor, my papa is being reduced. And when I get praise and people honor me, I'm actually losing my good karma, which could have been used to better use. So this is the logic behind it.
