Why can't I see my own faults while I can see others' faults?

definition
"You cannot see your own faults because your attention is focused outward; turn inward and let the light of consciousness reveal the unconscious patterns that will fall away effortlessly."
According to Osho, you miss your own faults because your attention is outward and your self-image is a fiction shaped by conditioning; you live as an extrovert who needs a mirror—the other—to see. Turn inward: cultivate simple awareness. In the light of consciousness, unconscious patterns are seen and they drop by themselves, like dry leaves; no borrowed 'conscience' or moral effort is required.
You can’t see your own mistakes because you’re always looking outside; if you quietly look inside like using a mirror, the mistakes show up and fade on their own.
Why this matters practically
- Pause daily to turn attention inward (breath, body, witnessing) instead of judging others.
- When a flaw is noticed, just stay aware; the seeing weakens the habit.
- Replace external 'shoulds' with inner clarity to act more freely and kindly.
