Re: Vice of Fault Finding

Dear lowerthanarat, Thanks for a nice quote of Shrila Prabhupada. The truth is good, but what I was going to say in this context that unless we pretty sure about the pure and exact truth, it is dangerous territory to judge other devotees based on what we have heard or even seen since our senses are not perfect. In our conditioned stage, we cannot grasp how a soul may be dear to Naama Prabhu or the Lord, even if the soul has some faults in one's character or committed some mistakes. There have been exalted Acharyas like Shrila Raghunatha Bhatta Goswami who have not been interested to judge or point out the faults of even someone who had committed genuine mistakes. They used to say that all are better than themselves and never hear about the faults of others. They even avoided calling a spade as a spade and fully concentrated on their own Naama Bhajana as they understood that criticizing someone else is not going to help in any way in their own Bhajana.

Daaso'smi, BR Sadhu Swami Gaurangapada.
