When we blame another person, when we dislike somebody, we overlook the same element in ourselves. There is no soul in the world who can say, "I have not this in me." If only he were just! For mostly it is the unjust person who blames another. The more just we become, the more silent will we be in all circumstances. If outwardly we see faults in others, inwardly there is the sum total within ourselves. For instance the little child cannot help loving. If a thief comes, or a robber, the child wants to love him and smiles at him. Why is it? Because a thief is not awakened in the child. The child is from heaven, the thief from the earth. There is no place for him there; that is why he is no thief to the child. We accept something because we already have it in us. If we consider our knowledge, a thousand things we seem to have experienced, we find that other people have told us most of them and we believed them at once. As soon as a person tells us about someone wicked, we think, "Now we know, we can be quite sure about it." But when a person comes along and says, "I have seen a most wonderful thing; this man is so good", everyone thinks, "Is it really true? Is it possible to be as good as that? Is there not anything bad in him?" Good is unnatural to many people.
