True or false, speaking ill of others is not proper for a brahmana. People who do this have hell for their abode (i.e., they are already living in hell).— Sanat-sujata to Dhritarastra. Mahabharata Udyoga Parva 45.8The ignorant seek to injure the wise by malice and back-biting; by doing so the critic takes upon himself the load of the wise man's sins, which he, the wise man, casts off by forgiving the ignorant.— Vidura to Dhritarastra. Mahabharata, Udyoga Parva 34.74A person being critcized should not retaliate [literally 'should riojt criticise']; for if endured the pain felt upon receiving such criticisms) will itself consume the critic and seize the results of his good deeds (which in turn go to the one who tolerated the criticisms).Conversation between Dattatreya and the Saddhyas, Mahabharata Udyoga Parva 36.5
Dear Prabhuji,
This Blog is particularly regarding vaishnava relationship,that we should not criticise pure vaishnavas.This is not regarding today's so called Guru's.
Yes,we must question them (miscreants) as Prabhupad deed.
Maybe it is correct for a previous yuga Deepak Prabhu but not for this one. In this age of Kali we should question those who pose as the guru, honestly question and try to determine if they are liberated or simply pretending.
To not do so would put the sincere devotee in the hands of miscreants trying to divert worship from the Supreme Lord to themselves. This science of self-realisation is a path of questioning not blind following fallible men.
