Forgetting about preferences

Ramakrishna:
There is a great deal of difference between daya, compasion, and maya, attachment. Daya is good, but maya is not. Maya is love for one's relatives -- one's wife, children, brother, sister, nephew, father, and mother. But daya is the same love for all created beings without any distinction.
(p. 266)
Ramakrishna:
Don't find fault with anyone, not even with an insect. As you pray to God for devotion, so also pray that you may not find fault with anyone.
