Observation...

The further one goes, the more difficulties there
are; one finds greater faults in oneself as one
advances along the spiritual path. It is not because
the number of faults has increased, but the sense
has become so keen that one regards differently
faults which formerly one would not have noticed.
It is like a musician: the more he advances and the
better he plays, the more faults he notices. He who
does not notice his faults is in reality becoming
worse. There is no end to one's faults. To think of
them makes one humble.
