Make your peace of mind and joy the goal in every situation possible. This is achieved by reacting to a brother or sister with forgiveness, love, peace and understanding, regardless of the illusion he or she might be buying into at that time. When they try to pull you into their illusions, remember that you are awake. Don't judge your brother or sister, for he or she is simply asleep and dreaming. Would you judge your child for screaming in his or her sleep, or would you hold and comfort him or her? Would you scold your child for kicking you while asleep, or would you simply turn him around? Would you laugh at your child if he described the monsters in his dream, or would you turn the light on and let him see for himself that there are no such things? Do this, and every time you succeed in remaining awake, congratulate yourself, for you have chosen peace.
