Look Only for Your Own Faults

It is not gifted everybody to be able to analyse oneself & to understand one’s own deficiencies & get ready to fight against them. Thoughtful & courageous people alone can do all this. Others cannot even understand their weaknesses. If somebody points them out, they take him to be their enemy & at fault; take it ill & are ready to quarrel with him. They themselves want to be free from fault by imposing on others, the failures due to their own deficiencies. Generally, people adopt this path but this self-deception does not change the situation. Our own vices are the greatest obstacles in the way of our progress. No effort is made to remove them. Consequently, the door of progress remains closed. People go on whining, complaining, crying & talking of illfate & Kaliyug (age of vice) etc. & satisfy themselves somehow by throwing the blame on others.

If we have to find faults, we should look within & should try to eradicate them. This is possible only through self-introspection & self-inspection. Great men have made progress & achieved greatness only in this way. We should take lesson from their lives & follow suit.
