Who or How do We Judge Anything In Life ?

Who or How We Cannot Judge Anything In Life ?

Judgement seems so natural to us in life .
We so easily  go about throwing our judgement at everything as though we know the whole story or the truth or reality .
In a complex system where there is no beginning or end , how can we judge ?
We all assume that we know and go about passing our opinion , advice or judgement .
What is happening now and what is going to happen in the next moment is not known to anyone .
If we can understand this mystery , we will be so much more peaceful , loving and gentle .
Life will become so much more pleasant !
Life is a hugely complex system where everything in interconnected in so many ways that it is not easy for us to comprehend .
Here is a short stories to illustrate my point :
1. A wise men who was a prime minister in an ancient court always expressed that whatever is happening in life is happening for the better . The king used to get annoyed and irritable.
This went on for some time .
One day the king accidentally cut his finger while sharping his arrow heads . He asked the minister if that was also for the better ? The prime minister replied that it was indeed for the better !
The king got very upset and called his guards to place the prime minister in prison . He , again asked the PM if that was good too ? The PM replied that that too was good.
The next day the king was going for a hunt into the forest. He went with his other friends and soldiers . While deep in the forest , the king got lost. While walking about and searching he was alone as he got separated from the rest of his people . In the same forest , there lived this wild cannibals who were also hunting for someone to eat. They managed to trap and catch the king. They had no idea of his kingly status nor were they bothered. Further , the king looked so juicy and well built. The cannibals were over joyed with their luck. They brought him to their village to cook and eat him .
However , before doing that , their medicine man always inspected the victim to see that it was worthy for their eating. The medicine man inspected the king and found that his finger tip was missing due to the cut he sustained while sharping his arrow heads. Immediately , the medicine man  told his people that the gods will not be happy with their catch as his body is not whole . They realised the king back! He was so relieved and joyed with his good fortune and the missing tip of the little finger.
He saw how he was saved because of that . He found his way to his palace and rushed to meet his wise prime minister . Getting him out of the prison he apologise and asked his PM how did he benefit from this incident ? The wise PM told the king that not for he being imprisoned , he would be eaten today as he was whole ! Then the king realised the wisdom of his wise PM .
This simple story illustrates how every event is interconnected and linked .
There are no isolated events in our life and Universe.
At some level we are all interlinked and connected.
We must understand the Oneness of all things . We are judging from a very limited and narrow perspective . We have no idea of the big picture .
When we can become aware of this reality or truth , we can accept everything happily .
Everything is unfolding for the better!
This vast Infinite Universe is always unfolding and expressing for the better .
Life and the Universe are One ! There is no separation . We have created such a belief and now are struggling in our separatedness .
Let go of the illusion of separation and enjoy the endless blessings of One and All .
Take care. Love . Amar.
