Jayapataka Swami: Try to see the good qualities in others. We heard that flies, they look at where the sores are and rather than having a fly like mentality, see the good qualities in others. Although in your mind you may think something bad, in Kali yuga you do not get the offence by thinking, you get for doing. As soon as you think something critical, say something praising, say some good quality of the person. In this way you can overcome this tendency to offend devotees. Devotees have so many good qualities. Why do we want to see all the bad qualities. Even the moon has got some spots in it. But its light, lights up the whole night. So like that, being a vaisnava, they may have some a defect, but we should try to glorify their good qualities. Hare Krsna!
