Even in rebuke Vidura keeps his reverence: he bows to his elder brother's feet before saying "I do not approve." It is telling that truth does not do away with courtesy — the wise man speaks a bitter word, yet without insolence, honoring the rank of the one he admonishes. The verse teaches how one ought to admonish a superior: firm in substance, humble in address. And the warning itself strikes at the root — "that discord among the sons may not arise": Vidura sees not the game but the war it leads to. A true counselor warns not of a nearby inconvenience but of a distant calamity; he sees the fruit within the seed. But can the far-sighted be heard by one blinded by a nearer attachment?
