O Lord of Compassion, teach me to shed tears of love for all beings. May I behold them as my very own--different expressions of my Self. I easily excuse my own faults; let me therefore quickly forgive the failings of others. Bless me, O Father, that I not inflict on my companions unwelcome criticism. If they ask my advice in trying to correct themselves, may I offer suggestions inspired by Thee.
--Paramahansa Yogananda, Whispers from Eternity
