Manual For Teachers
How
Is Judgment Relinquished?
Therefore
lay judgment down, not with regret but with a sigh of gratitude.
Now are you
free of a burden so great that you could merely stagger and
fall down beneath it.
And it was
all illusion. Nothing more.
Now can the
teacher of God rise up unburdened and walk lightly on. Yet
it is not only this that is his benefit.
His sense
of care is gone, for he has none.
He has given it away,
along with judgment.
He gave himself to Him
Whose judgment he has chosen now to trust instead of his own.
Now he makes no mistakes.
His Guide is sure.
And where he came to judge
he comes to bless. Where now he laughs he used to come to weep.
It is not
difficult to relinquish judgment. But it is difficult indeed
to try to keep it.
The teacher
of God lays it down happily the instant he recognizes its cost.
All of the
ugliness he sees about him is its outcome.
all these have
come of it. And
now he knows that these things need not be.
Not one is
true.
For he has
given up their cause, and they, which never were but the effects
of his mistaken choice, have fallen from him.
Teacher of
God, this step will bring you peace.
Can it be difficult
to want but this?
