## Criticism (Aalocna)
**Sharakat**
Aagam Sutra 39, Chhed Sutra-5, 'Mahanishith'
**Do not have attachment to study, purpose, or sutra numbers. Do not have attachment to the time, place, or person of the journey. Be afraid of being in the womb of a woman with a great desire for wealth. Be afraid of the many sorrows and fears of the world. With this kind of feeling, give criticism to the critic who comes to the Guru to reveal his faults.**
**The critic should also do penance to the Guru. The penance should be done in the same order as the fault was committed.** Sutra - 96-98
**The critic should not criticize with Maya, pride, or malice. Such criticism increases the world. I will tell you the names of those who have fallen into the lower realms, who have been afflicted by evil thoughts for an endless time, who have been in the ocean of the world with many waves, and who have been criticized even after committing criticism. They are those who have received penance along with criticism, and whose minds are polluted by emotional faults.** Sutra - 99-102
**The wicked person who has committed sin by criticizing and doing penance with malice, endures great unbearable suffering. He lives there enduring unbearable suffering. He is a heavy consumer of unrestraint, hates the virtuous, is devoid of virtue in sight and speech, and is also wicked in mind. He criticizes subtle matters. He asks, "What is the penance for what others have done?" and does penance himself. He criticizes a little, criticizes a little, criticizes even if he has not committed the fault, criticizes others in front of people for their entertainment, criticizes with the thought, "I will not do penance," or criticizes deceitfully.** Sutra - 103-105
**He speaks of the austerities and conduct done in the past with Maya, pride, and deceit. He says, "I do not feel any penance," or does not reveal the faults committed. He reveals the faults committed nearby. He asks for small penances. He says, "We make such efforts that there is no opportunity to receive criticism." He asks for criticism that will lead to auspicious bondage. He says, "I am unable to do great penance." He does not do penance by relying on the service of the sick, saying, "I have to serve the sick." The critic, the virtuous, ignores him.** Sutra - 106-108
**He does not do penance, saying, "I will not do penance for the sake of appeasement, I will not do penance with my tongue to please people." After accepting penance, he enters it after a long time, that is, he conducts himself, or he does something else after accepting penance. He repeatedly commits great sins with cruelty. He is proud of the object of love, Kamadeva, saying, "Even if I give any penance, I am capable of doing it." And then he commits penance by ignoring the penance-free consumption.** Sutra - 109-113
**He does penance as described in the book. He does penance according to his own imagination. He does penance according to the previous criticism. He becomes attached to caste, family, caste and family, knowledge, profit, wealth, austerity, scholarship, respect, etc. He is excited by pride, thinking, "I am not worthy of worship, I am alone." He criticizes with the pollution, "I am a great sinner." He criticizes through others or with disrespect. He criticizes unlawfully. He criticizes with such evil feelings as mentioned above.** Sutra - 114-116
**O Gautam! The soul who has been consuming emotional faults for an endless time has gone down to the seventh hell, inside, due to the suffering caused by the virtuous. O Gautam! In such a world, the virtuous are free from malice. They are their own...**
