Clean you own vessel. Perhaps you made the error of reproaching the 'attacker'. It is not up to you to correct your brother but to accept him as he is. And that is very easy when you know that in the true nature of his godliness he is faultless. We are in the process of learning perfect love.
Perfect love is unconditional.
What we usually call love is anything but perfect. They will lead you into wrong thoughts, words and deeds. They are not harmless. Above all, they harm you, yourself. When we are critical of the ones we love we justify ourselves.
