Take up your personal faults and failings

In seeking within for your personal faults and failings, begin by seeking for these general things— 

Ask yourself— 

Am I seeking in my heart to co-operate with all? 

Am I recognising that all the world is one great family; that if we try to separate ourselves into exclusive nations and sections, etc., we are like brothers and sisters who are continually quarrelling; that our Father and our Divine Mother cannot bring peace and harmony into this great household until the children in it have learned to be brotherly and kindly to one another. 

Then take up the other faults within yourself.
