When faults are found in anyone, you will have to understand that there are deficiencies in their behaviour, that is all. Do not conclude that there is no Divine Atma in them. As a result of the company they keep or the immorality of the society in which they grew up, flaws have developed in them. These are not native to their nature, which is Atmic. You will have to provide them with good company and beneficial surroundings and persuade them to take part in these. You should on no account condemn such people as born incorrigibles, and keep them aloof.

- Sathya Sai Vahini, Chap 7, "Be Yourself".

It is only when you recognize your own faults that you begin to understand the ways of the Divine. - BABA
