Whenever you judge, you are doing something foolish. It does not apply to the person at all, it can apply only to the act. And that act too is taken out of context because you don’t know his whole life.
It is as if you tear a page from a novel and you read it and you judge the novel by it. It is not right; it is out of context.
The whole novel may be a totally different thing.
You may have taken a negative part, an ugly part. But you don’t know anybody’s life in its totality.
A man has lived for forty years before you come to meet him.
Those forty years of context are there. The man is going to live forty years more when you have left him.
Those forty years of context are going to be there.
And you saw the man, just a single instance of him, and you judged him.
That is not right.
That is just stupid. It will not have any relevance to the man himself.
Your judgement will show something more about you than about the man. ’Judge ye not so that ye may not be judged’ – that’s what Jesus says.
Your judgement shows something about you, nothing about the person you have judged – because his history remains unavailable to you, his being remains unavailable to you. All contexts are lost, there is just a momentary flash – and your interpretation will be your interpretation.
It will show something about you.
Seeing this, judging disappears.
