Sri:
Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

Once some people said some bad things about Bhattar
and upon hearing this his disciples started arguing
with them.

Bhattar stopped his disciples and told them "We are
supposed to do two things all the time. One is to
praise the Lord's divine qualities; the other is
to remember our lowly qualities and mistakes. When
we start praising the Lord, we are unable to stop
as there is no end to His good qualities. Therefore,
we fail in our task of remembering our drawbacks.
Hence, when others remind us of our errors, we 
should be thankful to them, as they are helping us
fulfill our duty".

(Note: In connection with this, see the article "Who
is a Srivaishnava" by Sri PBA Swami:
