You
have to set an example.
First be a shining example,
and then the children will follow you;
there’s no need to force them.
One example is better than twenty years of talk.

We
should serve our families in whatever way is beneficial to them,
not to us.
We should not demand but always give and sacrifice.
And if each member of the family does the same thing,
then of course there will be harmony and love in the family.

Personal
problems, family problems, don't seem to belong to the spiritual
field. But they do. Because what is the good of you, of me, teaching
you to do meditation and to become a Saint while your life is
in misery, your husband is in trouble and lonely, and your children
are feeling unhappy because of a split family? And I already want
to bring Heaven to you now, not hell. Therefore, everything you
can use of this world to make your life better, to beautify your
surroundings, and to solidify, to consolidate your marriage, then
please use it, and do not be bound by it, but just use it.
