Once. Maricbi was afflicted with some disease. Other Sadhus knowing that he was not duly observing vows, did not attend on him and 90 getting wearied Marichi thought within himself, O! these Sadhus are destitue of politeness, cruel, exerting themselves for their own interests, and departing from popular opinion. I am acquainted with them, I am loving them and am initiated by the same Guru and I am polite. Far from attending upon me; they do not even look at me.' So thinking, he began to find faults with them. Generally people do not look to their own faults and the virtuous qualities of other persons, and hence, it is but natural
