Question: If I see flaws in others, it is as if I am looking at myself in a mirror. Is the right action to immediately turn to the Creator to correct myself? How can I make this action automatic, or would making it automatic be a detriment?
Answer: It depends on what you ask for. If you ask for the correction of this quality in yourself, naturally, you should expect yourself to change in some way. If you are asking for friends, you should see how much they are changing. But in any case, there will be changes.
Question: If the transgression I see is mine, do I need to say automatically, “This is me? Do I need to be corrected?”
Answer: Yes.
Question: Does this mean that any request is about correcting yourself?
Answer: This is how it is. Do not worry. The main thing is to ask.
Question: And if I ask for correction of a friend without seeing specific flaws in him, does it mean I do not have them either?
Answer: This also happens.
Question: So you do not always need to instantly attribute any flaw to yourself, right?
Answer: No, but when I ask for the correction of some flaw, I can ask for myself at the same time.
