The snake can be gripped only by a pair of pincers. And after having gripped it, cast it far away. Similarly, faults should not be touched at all; grip them with pincers and throw them away.

If  you offer a hundred thousand rupees a day to God, but speak ill of a devotee of God, then it would be as good as offering nothing! God is the remover of everybody’s faults. Everyone offers devotion and performs service in which there may be some shortcomings, but we must overcome our own faults.

We should not have thoughts, speech and behaviour which create conflicts with others.
