**Meaning:** I condemn the faults that are worthy of condemnation, which manifest in my own nature. That is, I remember that I committed these faults and I refrain from them. I confess my faults to the Acharya and others, and I criticize (abandon) all internal attachment and external conscious and unconscious possessions. || 55 ||
**How to criticize:** Just as a child, without understanding the consequences, speaks truthfully about what is right and wrong, so too should one criticize, abandoning deception and falsehood. || 56 ||
