••• •••May I be judicious instead of judgemental
Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods. Einstein
To judge is to compare One thing with another Based on a single facet Of innumerable complexities
To judge things as good or bad Is not to reject unpleasant things But to bring them into existence For, it is the moment of choosing That creates the momentum of denial Cascading across innumerable linked entities And tracing a pattern of denial across a life
For it is common nature To take up prejudices Without due justification And to feed on only those things That justify the prejudice
But judging and dismissing inconvenient truths Suppresses their vital insights Into what is going on without And going wrong within
What is needed of you is to Suspend your judgement—the epoché Of all things seen and unseen
To no longer fear your fear Rage against your anger Despair about your loneliness But to accord all things with dignity due For they only ask to be acknowledged by you And returned back to their source
