In the lecture Radhanath Swami was asked a similar question. Then he replied that we cannot recognize a pure Devotee. Only Krishna can do that.
Because of that better to think oneself lower than a blade of grass, tolerant than a tree always respect EVERYONE and not to WAIT for respect for one self.

Anyways Krishna in Bhagavad Gita replies to Arjuna's similar question. He says that such like a person is dear to everyone and everyone is dear to him, he speaks less, he eats less, he prefers to live with sadhus, he always eager to serve to God and to His Devotees...
