“What is the straight mind? The Bodhisattva-Mahasattva keeps a straight mind towards all beings. All beings flatter, as the occasion arises. Not so with the Bodhisattva. Why not? Because he knows well, that all good things, comes through causal relations. The Bodhisattva-Mahasattva sees all the evils and mistakes made by the beings. But he does not speak about these things. Why not? Possibly worries will come about. If defilements rise to their heads, this will lead to evil realms (of existence). If he sees beings performing some good deeds, he praises them. What is a good deed? It is the so-called Buddha Nature. When the Buddha Nature (manifested in a person) is praised, all beings aspire to Unsurpassed Enlightenment."
Nirvana Sutra, Chapter 32, on the Bodhisattva Highly-Virtuous King 6.
