A devotee with fault finding tendency has to cultivate the consciousness: “How can I be proud when I am finding faults in others. What do I have to be proud of?” Pride is the opposite of a Vaisnava mentality. A Vaisnava is one who always looks for the good qualities in others. So one who is proud, should pray, “I am finding faults, and I am proud at the same time. I am very fallen. Only You can deliver me, Krishna.”
