How do you react to a spiritual father who seems to be neglecting or avoiding a person?

Your relationship with your spiritual father is very important. Not only should you feel free to tell him anything and everything, but if he really knows you well, he will have the sensitivity to realize that something maybe upsetting you. Discuss your hurt with him and let him know how you feel. If he is just neglecting another person, other than you, it is really between them. However, if you know this person, and he/she is taking offense to this spiritual father for this reason, then you can let your spiritual father know in a gentle and respectful manner that this person needs some extra care at this time from him.
