Simplified Meaning:
It's easy to feel wise and calm when we're alone or with friends, but real challenge comes with family. Spending time with parents can show us how much patience and understanding we truly have. Old conflicts and habits often resurface, testing our emotions. For instance, imagine someone who feels very peaceful after meditating. When they visit their parents, old arguments about chores or life choices come up. This situation tests their calmness and wisdom. The advice here is to check how well you handle stress and emotions, especially with those closest to you. It helps you see where you might need more growth and patience.
