Holy Mother By Swami Nikhilananda: 174
The Masters Death and After – 31
In a temple of Krishna at Vrindavan, Holy Mother prayed fervently that she might not see other people’s blemishes. This prayer, which was literally fulfilled, was only an outer expression of an inborn characteristic of hers which made her an embodiment of compassion and patience. Later in life, when she found people around her criticizing others, she would mention her prayer at Vrindavan and say: ‘formerly I too used to notice others’ faults. Then I prayed to the Master and through his grace got rid of this habit. It is in the very nature of man to see defects. You should learn to appreciate virtues. Man is no doubt liable to err, but you must not take notice. If you constantly find fault with others, you will see faults alone.’ To Yogin-Ma she said once: ‘Do not look at the faults of others lest your eyes should be vitiated.’
