Premanand Maharaj Ji
किसी की गलती पर बोलना कब ठीक है और कब निंदा बन जाता है?
मुँह पर समझाना, पीठ पीछे बुराई नहीं
If you see a friend or someone close falling, telling that person directly is not criticism but holding them up. Speaking ill behind their back means carrying their sins on yourself.
Behind his back, hunting for his flaws and then speaking ill of him is para-ninda; nothing is gained, and the fool carries a mountain of sin with him.
