Excellent observation. What I would like to add to this is that being star struck has it's place in growth but soon we realise that we all have unique talents and in an obscure sort of way all deserve "star status". However does this mean we need to have people authenticate us with their "praise and adoration".

There is a spiritual connotation to all of this. The illumined master being adored is a metaphor for all of us as spirit, when being worshipped stops the praise and reminds them doing the worshipping that they are no less nor greater than the master and are tio cease from such behaviour.
