Whatever we see in others is only a reflection of our own self. If we
accuse somebody as bad, it is just that our feeling towards that person is bad.
Whatever impression we have about others is a reflection of our feeling towards
them. Everything is just reflection, reaction and resound. Therefore, you
should not find fault with others. You do not have the right to find fault
because your assessment of a person is limited to your experience with him.
There are so many aspects of the personality of that person you do not know.
For example, you look at Anil Kumar, you will know only his dress, his
complexion, his height and weight. But Anil Kumar is not merely what you see.
There are so many qualities like love, compassion or anger, which are in him
that you cannot see. Therefore, if you want to know a person completely you
should investigate into all the aspects of his personality. In modern times,
people go by the physical appearance and judge people based on their external
actions. This is wrong.
Hence, defect lies in the vision and not in the creation. When you put on
red glasses everything appears red and when you put on blue glasses everything
appears blue. Only those foolish people who fail to recognise this truth resort
to criticism. Even in the case of an ordinary human being your assessment is
wrong, then how can you assess God?
