Guest guest Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 Criticism of Others Baba says that we all should have firm faith in service to humanity, which is the greatest spiritual exercise. You should not come forward to criticize and comment about the bad things in others. Criticism of others is a very great sin. It is like a great disease. It is an incurable disease. No medicine is available for this disease. This criticizing can be compared to cancer. Therefore do not criticize, comment, or make remarks about others at any time. We get into various difficulties by criticizing others. Be at distance from criticism of others. Criticism and violence should not be cultivated by you. Develop contemplation and thinking of God. Fill yourself with love and look at others with eyes of love. Free yourself from criticizing, harming and hurting others. You can never escape the fruits of the criticism of others. When we blame others, we accumulate the fruits of their sins. This is the law of the universe; because the other individual whom you are blaming is not someone else, but God Himself. Therefore, do not blame or hurt anyone. Doing so only reflects on your own character. When you point out one mistake in a person, others will be ready to point out ten mistakes in you. When we realize this truth, then we will not blame others. It is very typical of a mean person to boast about himself and to put down others. A man can be called " human " only when he gives up such bad qualities and wicked feelings. Instead of criticizing one should develop seeing God in every form. ~ Baba~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
