My God, how long I have been working on the following realization and still chipping away at the rough edges... If I were to die today or drop this body I would be grateful to have realized this one insight that conquers the mind's propensity to criticize others, which begins with finding fault with one's own self.
Everyone has some fault, blind-spot or deficiency in this world, (including the best gurus) no matter how much we put them on a pedestal in a glass case, however, everyone is serving according to their personal capacity. Acknowledging, appreciating the service they are doing and neglecting the faults that the mind generally loves to dwell on causing us and others to feel miserable, is the key to personal blissful happiness. It is the cause of others being able to receive our personal association and contributions. It is an attribute of real humility. One naturally is transformed into a genuine encouraging friend and peacemaker to all in this world still very much of a mentality divided against itself.
