[How to correct a devotee making a mistake] Although Sri Pundarika Vidyanidhi was chastised by the Lord for criticizing a priest, how can we rectify a devotee who is making a mistake in his service?

Answer
The simplest way to correct someone who is making a mistake is to gently point out the error and help them improve. The intention should not be to criticize or discourage, but to guide and support them in giving up unhelpful habits.

In this way, correction becomes an act of care and assistance rather than fault-finding, helping the person gradually grow and change in a positive direction.
