Jalaluddin Suyuti was advising his devotees: "There are seven things that can humiliate any human being:

(1) Arriving at a feast/invitation uninvited.

(2) Sitting in a gathering at a place that is higher than one's status and position.

(3) Dictating to or commanding the host while being a guest.

(4) Interfering in the conversation of others.

(5) Addressing people who are not ready to listen.

(6) Befriending a person of bad character/ill-repute.

(7) Seeking help from a stone-hearted and greedy wealthy person."
