One must not take notice of someone else's faults and be drawn in criticism and judgment. Otherwise, one ends up ignoring one's own faults.The Path is similar to a large hospital where the master (shaykh) is the only physician. How can a patient blame another patient for not feeling well? It is therefore important to magnify each other's best qualities.
Look at your brothers and sisters as being perfect, if solely for their link to the Path. Progressively you will notice that the entire Divine Creation is perfect. He who sees a fault in the other only notices his own faults. The mureed is learning, he/she has not yet arrived. Be merciful!
Concealing each other's faults gives elevation and healing, outpourings of criticism do nothing except damage oneself and ones progress. If we are in need we must reach out for help, Mawlana puts people in our path to help.
