Prabhupada used to quote the saying that: “Caesar’s [Julius Caesar] wife has to be above suspicion.” In other words, he used to give that example, that if we’re going to point out some fault, then we better be careful that we don't have the same fault. Because, part of being a parent, a teacher, or a Spiritual Master, means that one also has to teach by, and correct by their example.
