Personal Guidance
On hearing his daughter's confession, Śaryāti rushes to appease the sage. A father takes responsibility for his child's mistake rather than scolding her into helplessness.
Reflection Questions
- Do I appease the offended party as well as correct my child, or only one or the other?
- What relationship of mine needs immediate appeasement before more time passes?
