I'll give an example. It's easy to point out the spiritual flaws of others and be angry about them. I could point out homophobia, sexism, religious arrogance, racism or any kind of narrow-minded intolerance. It's easy to dwell on the lack of compassion and intolerance in other people while not working on oneself. So what I mean by "working on myself spiritually" is to make sure I am as tolerant and compassionate as I can be rather than expecting others to be that way. That isn't to say that I'm apathetic about injustice. If there's something I can do to prevent a social ill, I will probably do it, but I try to focus on enhancing my own spiritual strengths rather than condemning others. It's not easy. I try to remain calm and centered. I'm just trying to make spiritual progress rather than losing myself to anger.
