of them. How to solve and be calm in that situation?
Little bit of conflict is fine. It makes you value peace with your family. Small conflicts are there to make the family realize not to take anybody for granted. Conflicts happen mainly due to expectation of parents on children and children’s expectation of parents are different - its a generation gap. Best way to solve it, is to accept the conflict. Give it some time and things will settle down. If you are a sadhak, don’t go on trying to convince your parents by your words. If you can smile, maintain calm despite the difference of opinion, then at one point of time they will turn around. Its a delicate balance between love and respect. Too much respect will make you feel distance in any relationship. Too much love will make you take things for granted, The ideal combination is love and respect. They want good for children and children want good for parents but each of their perspective is different. Instead of blaming one another, take turns. Sometimes you make your point calmly and at other times you remain silent, let your parents make their point. Any relationship is a compromise. Ideal situation would be is when all the members of the family are practitioners of meditation. When that is not possible, one who is practicing should maintain calm and use all the skills to raise above the conflict.
