The one who knows the straight or the crooked is the Self

"Right or wrong exist with respect to intellect in the world. Wrong and right, worthy and worthless all these duality exist in the society. In the eyes of the Lord, wrong or right does not exist at all. All are gneya—the object to be known, only. If it is not favorable to us then we say it is wrong, bad and if it is favorable then we say it is right, good. This wrong or right is duality. It is the relationship between a supporter and a support taker. It is necessary to understand that wrong or right results are the effects of our own causes created in the past life. Therefore we should not look for mistakes of others.
Gnani Purush Dadashri says that as long as you are having divisiveness due to differences in opinions with anybody (matabheda), it is the sign of your weakness. People are not wrong; you enter into conflict so it is only your fault. And if you accept that it is your mistake then only, your conflicts in this world will end. To say anything that will cause difficulties for another human being is the biggest crime. A noble human being will cover up anything negative he hears about anyone."
