Caitanya-caritāmṛta 8.62

vaiṣṇavera guṇa-grāhī, nā dekhaye doṣa kāya-mano-vākye kare vaiṣṇava-santoṣa
[vaishnavera guna-graahee, naa dekhaye dosha kaaya-mano-vaakye kare vaishnava-santosha]
Blended reading (Sanskrit + English inline)
vaiṣṇavera guṇa-grāhī, nā dekhaye doṣa kāya-mano-vākye kare vaiṣṇava-santoṣa
He always accepted the good qualities of Vaiṣṇavas and never found fault in them. He engaged his heart and soul only to satisfy the Vaiṣṇavas.

It is a qualification of a Vaiṣṇava that he is adoṣa-darśī: he never sees others’ faults. Of course, every human being has both good qualities and faults. Therefore it is said, saj-janā guṇam icchanti doṣam icchanti pāmarāḥ: everyone has a combination of faults and glories. But a Vaiṣṇava, a sober man, accepts only a man’s glories and not his faults, for flies seek sores whereas honeybees seek honey. Haridāsa Paṇḍita never found fault with a Vaiṣṇava but considered only his good qualities.
