On judging others






….contd……….

‘No more judging people – simple! Why argue about it or discuss it even when we know how it is hurting us?’ Rahul said as a matter of fact.

‘True, true’ everyone agreed.

We all were trying to internalize this sentence for sometime.

‘But Guruji, is it as simple as that? Explain in detail. Why do we ‘judge’ ourselves or others in the first place? And what are the various areas in which we judge? I think by knowing it’s origin and it’s manifestation, we’ll be in a better position  to notice it, deal with it and finally transcend it’ requested Aziz.

I was glad he asked this question. I wanted to know this answer but I never could bring myself to ask these questions especially in a crowd. And I knew few others who were in the same shoes as me. So, he actually was asking on behalf of us. I thanked him silently and sent reiki to him for his well being, clarity of thought and happiness as a form of gratitude to him.

‘well let’s see few sentences of ‘judging’.

‘she may be beautiful but very mean……’

‘he is not good looking but very good at heart……..’

What do such statements point to?’ our Guruji asked.

‘Physicality of a person’.

‘Good. But what exactly are we trying to state with that statement?’
