JUSTICE CAN NEVER BE DEVELOPED WHILE WE JUDGE OTHERS. THE ONLY WAY IS
BY CONSTANTLY JUDGING OURSELVES.--Hazrat Inayat Khan

Commentary by Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis (Sufi Ahmed Murad Chisti):

The reason is this: when one is called upon to be a judge, there
should be no weights on either side of a balance. If two persons
come to one for judgment, and there is a law book to be consulted,
that law book would render judgment. But when man has no such
reference or depends upon his judgment, there is ordinarily no way
to keep clear of prejudices which impede true justice.

By man judging himself is meant not so much a struggle against
passion and evil, as a struggle from all influences be they good or
bad. When one responds readily to the call of God from within, the
heart and mind become purified from the denseness of the earth. This
is the real judging of self, not considering whether one's
characteristics are good or bad or need to be removed or
strengthened; rather it is the judging of the nufs, the cause of all
impurity. Judge that and not quality and one in time will be able to
render justice to himself and another.
