To Attain Liberation You Must Look At Your Own Faults
The entire world is eternally faultless. Even a snake or a tiger is faultless. Everyone including all these politicians, genocidal dictators, terrorists, predators, rapists etc., is faultless. But we still see fault in them, do we not? The science of liberation in action is the process of the cessation of seeing faults in others. The continuance of seeing faults in others is the foundation of the worldly life.
The faults are yours and no one else's. When you stop seeing faults in others, your liberation is at hand. The entire world is preoccupied with looking at faults in others. This world is there for one to look at one's own faults. It is because people look at fault of others that this worldly life continues. What kind of person looks at faults in others? It is one who seeks superiority.
A person who wants liberation will look at his own faults, while a person who looks at the faults of others, continues to wander endlessly in the quagmire of the world. There is no need to become frustrated with those who look at other people's faults; such people are doomed to wander around. How else could they achieve this?
Come, Accept This One Principle
If the world is pleasant to you and you want to remain in it, you can continue to see the faults of others. If you do not like your worldly life interactions, you must come to this one understanding: keep seeing the world as faultless and accept that it is because of your own faults that you encounter problems.
The Fault Always Exists Within
You should not see faults in anyone. The world should

appear faultless to you.

Dadashri: That is why you see the fault.
Questioner: And does one's vision become purer as one sees more of one's own faults?
Dadashri: Yes, it correspondingly becomes purer.
Your Gutter Stinks And You Have Gone To Clean The Gutters of Others
People's faults are their gutters. Even the gutters in the streets are kept covered. A young child knows not to keep the gutters and sewers open. If you have a kitchen, surely you will have a gutter outside and you will always keep the gutter covered with a lid. People have certain faults; a person may be cranky or angryto look at their negative qualities, is equivalent to opening up a sewer. It is better to look at their good qualities instead. You only need to look at your own gutter and keep it clean, so it does not clog up. People do not realize that their drains are clogging up, and if they did, would they know how to take care of the problem? They reach their limitations, and that is why all the disease sets in. Through reading the scriptures they learn to say, "You should not speak ill of others!" And although they go around exclaiming this, the underlying gossiping continues. Whenever you utter even the slightest negativity about anyone, you have undoubtedly caused damage. No one opens the lids of the outside physical gutters, but people tend to keep opening other people's gutters.
I came across a man who was kicking the door of a latrine. When I asked him why he was doing that, he said, "Even though I do my best to keep this toilet clean, it still smells bad!" Now is
