Everyone has a combination of faults and glories, but a Vaisnava, a sober man, accepts only a man’s glories and not his faults. He knows faults will exist, but he is not interested in accepting the faults. Prabhupada used to always say, “Why not appreciate the moon for its illuminating potency instead of trying to look for the little marks on the moon? This is the mentality of the critic.”
