MATTHEW

MATTHEW, chapter 7, verses 1, 2.   -   an interpretation by Huberto Rohden

 

 

"Do not judges or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured unto you"

 

With these words, Jesus, the Christ, enunciates the great law of the indestructible balance of the Universe. No creature, however powerful, can unbalance the cosmic balance of justice. No one can thwart God's plan. In the ontological or objective order of things, God will always be 100% victorious. Nobody can beat Him, not even Satan. All of backslides of some creatures, enemies of God subjectively, objectively contribute to highlight the unique sovereignty and the infinite majesty of God.

 

However, vicissitudes, lights and shadows, good and evil, can happen within this indestructible objective order and this stable balance of the Universe. Every creature can consciously and freely on his or her part, opposes God and try to prevail against the Great Whole. This is the mystery of freedom of each conscious creature.

 

It is however, absurd to assume that some finite (man), can defeat the Infinite (the Creator), that the part can prevail against the Whole, and that some existential effect can thwart some plans of the Essential Cause.

 

No plan of God can be thwarted by man, not by Satan. The creature does not have to choose between keeping or not keeping  the  plans of God; only has two modes to choose to meet His commitments, or joyfully or painfully, but in any way the creature must comply with the Creator’s plans, either enjoying or suffering. The unfailing fulfilment belongs to God, the fulfilment with joy or pain belongs to man.

 

Now, when man opposes to the plans of God, lacking the Truth, Justice, Love, then he enters the zone of guilt (or sin), whose reverse is called penalty (suffering). Trespass, tempts man away from God; penalty is taken by him to approach God. Man tries by guilt to unbalance the equilibrium of the Universe – by suffering, he re-balances that subjective imbalance. We say "subjective" because an objective imbalance is impossible; if it were possible, God would cease to be sovereign and omnipotent and letting the Universe to be a "Cosmos", to be converted into a “chaos”.

 

Guilt is something negative, as negative is also the suffering. The negative guilt infallibly causes the negative sentence. Negative produces negative – positive produces positive.

 

The evil emanated from the subject (fault) produces evil coming from the object (sufferings). The good created by the subject (Love) produces the well created by the object (Enjoyment).

 

If I assume a negative attitude in the face of the components of the Universe, hating - the Universe will assume a negative attitude against me making me suffer.

 

If I take a positive attitude, good in the face of any component of the Universe, loving - the Universe will assume a positive attitude in my favour enjoying it.

 

Only then is it possible to maintain the stable equilibrium of the Universe.

 

The wisdom of man is, therefore, in never assuming any negative attitude, but always positive in the face of the Universe and to any of its components. Absurd is to think that someone charging his head against the Himalayas can topple this gigantic mountain, although perhaps, able to displace either insignificant pebble which, nevertheless continue to be an integral part of the Himalayas. All wisdom consists that man, spontaneously, harmonize his subjective attitude with the eternal and indestructible objective Reality of the Universe; to tune his little will and act with the great Will and Acting of God.

 

In creating any negative of guilt, is equivalent to cause a negative suffering.

 

In creating, a positive of Love equals a positive cause for Joy.

 

Sin causes suffering.

 

Love creates happiness.

 

"With the same measure you use, it will be measured unto you."

 

Who measures us with the same measure is the inexorable righteousness of the Cosmic Constitution, which however manifests usually through its concrete agents, nature or men. Nature and men are representatives of eternal Truth and Justice. Who opposes Truth or Justice will have to suffer - who harmonize with Truth and Justice will enjoy.

 

Truth is that positive or negative result, which not always appears immediately but its appearance is infallible even if later: decades, centuries or millennium, because under no circumstances can the order of the Universe subjectively denied by guilt or affirmed by Love, fails to act in the same direction, negative or positive, producing pain or Joy.

 

Being bad is the equivalent to being unhappy. Being good means being happy.

 

“There is no way to be virtuous exercising addictions.”
