Simplified Meaning:
This quote means you should focus on fixing your own problems before telling others what they should do. Imagine you have a messy room but you go around telling your friends to clean theirs. It makes more sense to tidy up your own room first, showing that you can handle your own issues. Applying this to life, if you want to give advice or point out flaws in others, make sure your life is in good shape first. By doing this, you set a good example and earn respect. It’s about taking responsibility for yourself before judging others.
