One example from the Bhagavatam about the etiquette of deference was when Uddhava directed Vidura to hear from Maitreya Muni. Uddhava was actually more perfect in his intimate devotion to Krishna, but he deferred to Maitreya because of his age and position as a great sage. Not that Maitreya was Uddhava’s guru (both had just heard directly from Krishna), but the mood of deferring to a superior was demonstrated.
