One will not be able to find his own mistakes as long as one is partial to his own self. Partiality for own self is the illusion and perpetuates it. When the force of karma unfolds one becomes absorbed in it, the awareness jagruti is blocked and the application upayog of the knowledge is missed. There, the awareness will be regained if one remains in the satsang of the Gnani Purush.
Awareness jagruti is a different matter and Gnan- experiential knowledge as the Self, is a different matter. To wake up from sleep is called awareness.

Unless the Gnani Purush certifies You, don't even attempt to preach. All the faults within you are ready and waiting to attack at a moments notice. When all the kashayas are eradicated, that stage will arrive by itself!
Awareness is the state where the thief of a kashaya is not allowed to enter. In such awareness, one can see all the faults and can also see the
