The family life that you lead is a good training ground. It is
the Sadhana Kshetra (Field of Spiritual Practice). When you are
found fault with, do not fly into a rage. Examine your own
conduct and discover the faults in yourself. Self-Examination
is the first step to Self-Improvement and peace. Do not
exaggerate the faults of others, but give them a wide margin and see
them as small. Exaggerate yours - see them big and strive to
remove them fast. Take all your faultfinders as your friends and
well-wishers, for they give you warning signals in a timely manner.
