Don’t Judge Others

Greetings Yogis and Yoginis,

This week in class we are considering the topic “Don’t Judge Others”.

Let us guard against judging others. The Yogic attitude is to mind our own actions and not to be self-styled detectives of God. When we act, one-hundredth part of our personality is expressed outwardly and ninety-nine parts are expressed entirely on other levels. So to take one detail and judge the whole personality of man from that standpoint is surely wrong. The human personality is not merely a machine that acts. A sewing machine is judged on how it sews, but man is not a machine. He has deep complexes hidden in his personality, sometimes not known to himself. - Hari Prasad Shatri

The reflection from the quote is to evaluate for yourself what it means to “mind your own actions.” The next time you find yourself being critical of another person catch yourself and actively move away from criticizing. Then consider the things you need to work on. Be compassionate and non-judgmental when looking at your own life and at the same time be consciously reflective.

Blessings,
