Qstn for Swamiji -- one's own behavior, as if from a distance

[Guest guest]

Swamiji,

 

Vashista's Yoga says, if one's own [possibly adharmic] behavior is

"held at a distance" from consciousness and there is no

identification, the ego-sense does not arise.

 

On the other hand, it also seems useful to fully acknowledge one's own

faults and more or less confess them to oneself or Shiva in

meditation.

 

Swamiji, what is best, to forget, or to acknowledge, one's own

faults [as they are displayed for all to see in the field of life] or,

does the ideal response change according to circumstances and the

state of one's devotion at the time?
