Do Not See Faults in Others

While living in a family setting, we have to be a living example. Our duty is not to find faults in others, and not to order others around, but instead to help them to improve in a constructive and positive manner. When we start seeing faults in others, those faults are likely to come in us.Causing distress to others, seeing faults and defects in others, and following the path disapproved by the scriptures and saints, are not easy to root out. However, this can be possible only by continuous spiritual discipline and constant good company.Just as we do not wish anyone to do us any wrong, or to find faults in us or to behave badly with us; likewise, we should not find faults in others or behave in an undesirable manner with others. A pleasure seeking person always thinks of his own self, and his own good. But a devotee of God, does not ever cause distress to otherswith either his body, mind or speech.Even though man may strive for discipline, but if he causes pain and distress to others, then despite all efforts, he will not make quick spiritual progress. Therefore, even if we do not care for others, we should at least not cause distress to them.It is very important to have no evil or bad thoughts and to do nothing evil or bad against anyone. By assuming anyone as evil or bad, we create a relationship with that evil and that evilness comesin us. That bad thought does not let us become pure. Whatever feeling is inside, so will be the outcome. God says He likes an honest and simple person. If we keep seeing faults in others - we cannot become simple and pure.Do not see others faults. Accept what is good and reject all the faults.All faults stay in the shadow of egoism.It is a rule that all faults arise due desires and a sense of mine with the temporary. From just this one fault alone, all other faults arise.
