something more – and that is informal education. Everyone’s family is the centre of informal education for him. To gain admission into this institution, you don’t need to pay any kind of admission fee. It is destined by nature and by birth – a fact of life. You should therefore make certain to avail of whatever your family offers you in terms of informal education. The family is a unit of society. In this sense, every family is like a mini-society. You have to try to train yourself in this mini-society so that you will be able to enjoy a better life in the larger society. One who fails to live a good life in his family circle will certainly fail to live a good life in society. Adjustment, a principle of life, is what makes all social life run smoothly. If you enter social life without first having learned to make adjustments within the framework of the family, you will have only two options: either learn to make immediate adjustments or stoop to hypocrisy and then live in a never-ending state of tension.
