Develop your wisdom, not your egoism. The craving to criticise is a disease of the intellect and it has to be nipped in the bud. Examine the thing that you do not like very closely, and with great care. Do not jump to conclusions, favourable or unfavourable. For that would be abdicating your precious status of ‘thinker’ and your responsibility towards yourself. If you focus all your powers of observation and judgement on one topic, it will surely stand revealed.

- Divine Discourse, 22nd Jan 1960.
