This is a Metaphoric expression of a talk between two persons-one who is an egoistic and the other is a gyani.

First two lines express- egoistic person drenched with ego does not want to practice humbleness,

Next two lines express- Gyani tells the other that he has seen the worst egoistics crumbling down.

Sorry to be naive, but even used as a metaphor what are the words breast and nipples representing?

It represents the newly bride’s full body(a young girl with full breasts), which is making her so proud of it that she does not want to bend down to touch her mother in-laws feet. So her pride for the outer beauty does not let her to be humble. All that is mortal is impressing her too much and she is ready to forsake her real duty.
