But when we are attached to other things, then it’s like our eyes are closed to him. So by remembering that Krishna always loves us no matter how many times we fall, we can actually become enthused to start practicing bhakti more enthusiastically.

So self-criticism is basically often the venting out of the frustrated false ego. The fulfilled false ego thinks I am so great. The frustrated false ego thinks I am so bad.
