The habit of criticizing our fellow-beings is a bad one, at the back of it often lies self-righteousness, conceit and a false sense of superiority. Sometimes it indicates envy or a desire for retaliation. Those who criticize should first look to themselves. They will find greater faults within themselves than in others. (Awakener, XVI/2/52)

Honesty begets humility that refuses to criticize others. It ungrudgingly works its own way, leaving the results to my divine will. (Glimpses of the God-Man vol 1, p44)
Innocent and fair criticism does not hurt and is good, but it is quite rare. What I mean by talking ill of others is when you criticize excitedly, out of anger. When you criticize with love and kindness, how can it hurt? (Mehera Meher, vol 2, p73)
