The development of the sense of justice lies in unselfishness; one cannot be just and selfish at the same time. Selfish people can be just, but only for themselves. They have their own law most suited to themselves, and they can change it, and their reason will help them to do so, in order to suit their own requirements in Life. A spark of justice is to be found in every heart, in every person, whatever be the stage of evolution in Life; but those who love fairness, so to speak blow on that spark, thus raising it to a flame, in the light of which Life becomes more clear to them.<\/p>\n

( from the Sufi Message Series, Volume III – The Art of Personality, Part III: Character Building and the Art of Personality, Chapter II – The Art of Personality<\/a> )<\/p>\n

We cannot be a judge of the action of another until we ourselves are selfless. Only then will Justice come to us; only then will we understand the nature of Justice. Self is the wall between us and Justice. There is only one thing that is truly just, and that is to say, ‘I must not do this.’<\/p>\n

( from the Sufi Message Series, Volume VII – In an Eastern Rose Garden: Mind, Human and Divine<\/a> )<\/p>\n

Real Justice cannot be perceived until the veil of selfishness has been removed from our eyes. The least spark of selfishness will prevent us from being just. We will continue to have a partial interest, because we will be looking after our own interest. Whatever furthers our own interests, we will call our right and our justice.<\/p>\n

The prophets and the holy ones have all recognized the Justice of God as the only real Justice. What is the nature of the Justice of God? It can only be learned from the self within after selfishness has been removed. Our limited self is like a wall separating us from the Self of God. God is as far away from us as that wall is thick. The Wisdom and Justice of God are within us, and yet they are far away under the covering of the veil of the limited self.<\/u><\/i> Whoever has arrived at that realization of the nature of God’s Justice is able to see things in a different way from others. Their whole outlook on life becomes different.<\/p>\n

So long as nufs has control there is not a balance, there is not observation of law, and certainly there is no pure Love. For during that condition when nufs has control, all events are related to a thought — whether such events have any actual connection with that thought or not — and a set of relations is substituted for a set of actualities.<\/u><\/i> Justice, mercy, all morals, and all wisdom are the natural aspects of a life undeterred by these false relations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
