Truthfulness is the harmony of thought, word and deed.
A person who resolves to stick to the truth (Satya) at all costs, steadily rises in virtues. When his virtues raise his reputation and prestige, he becomes all the more a devotee of truth. This devotion to truth becomes an unerring source of power and greatness.
There is no higher happiness than the contemplation of Satya.
My sole aim in criticizing the views of others is to arrive at the Truth.

Hello, brave souls.
We see what happens when truly righteous people criticize the views of others. The world's hatred is made manifest. Only the truly humble are appreciative of a saint's criticism.
I have faith in unselfish criticism, but be prepared to stand utterly alone, you lions of God. "Take courage, and be of good cheer, for I am always, [for Satya and Prema, is always], with you".

I am not sure if i will take the path of criticism to arrive at the "truth". "Truth" or Satya in every sense is pertinent and personal to the individual and he will have his own way to attain it.
By criticism of another's methodology of attaining Satya is in itself not virtuous. With acceptance comes a greater form of truth, that of equality and tolerance, of humility and peace! This is solely my humble opinion. No offence meant.
