 II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II



दोस पराए देखि करि, चला हसन्त हसन्त I
अपने याद न आवई, जिनका आदि न अंत II



We want to find faults in others, but not in ourselves. Due to our false ego-sense, instead of judging our own conduct, we commit the error of judging others. In other words, we are unaware of our own house being on fire, but we go out of our way to see if someone else's house is burning out there. Our inflated ego-sense is afraid to face the truth our inner mind would reveal to us — our shocking crookedness, perversions, weaknesses, shortcomings, corruption, ignorance, untruthfulness, selfishness, duality, fear, falsehood, and so on. Instead we find it easy and more pleasant to judge others and find faults with them. The feeling or urge of finding faults in others indicates that the seeds of that kind of faults or weaknesses are present within us, and we are trying to suppress them cutting off the heads of others. A Maya stricken ego-mind is like a fly that lands only on "filth": moral sores of others. 


Kabir says, one who can constantly look within to examine and judge himself becomes the "real judge". He then sees "others" in "him" and "him" in "others".
