Greed, Leprosy, and Inner Judgment

2 Kings 5:25-27 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Kings 5 in context

Scripture Focus

25But he went in, and stood before his master. And Elisha said unto him, Whence comest thou, Gehazi? And he said, Thy servant went no whither.
26And he said unto him, Went not mine heart with thee, when the man turned again from his chariot to meet thee? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and oliveyards, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and maidservants?
27The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall cleave unto thee, and unto thy seed for ever. And he went out from his presence a leper as white as snow.
2 Kings 5:25-27

Biblical Context

Gehazi’s greed for money is exposed as an inner state that invites a harsh consequence; the tale hinges on obedience to the higher inner teacher rather than private craving.

Neville's Inner Vision

I see Gehazi as the figure of a mind clinging to substances as proof of its worth. Elisha stands as the higher I AM within, the quiet discerner of motive. Gehazi runs after money as if wealth could complete him; the heart that accompanied his pursuit was not with him in the moment of return, and thus the symbol—leprosy—appears as a gnawing reminder that separation from the one Life cannot endure. Remember: in Neville's teaching, what you see in the outer world is the state you entertain inwardly. The leprosy is not a curse on Gehazi alone but a mirror of any thought that declares I am not enough unless I possess. The cure is simple: assume the state that you desire as already yours, and dwell there until the feeling of completion fills every cell. When you align with the inner master and honor true discernment, the vision of lack vanishes, and your world reflects perfect health and generosity, not grasping greed.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes. See Elisha enter your inner room and ask, 'Whence comest thou?' Reply, 'From a mind that thinks it must have more.' Then revise silently: 'I am the I AM; all wealth and health are mine by alignment with truth.' Feel that truth as real in your chest, letting the image dissolve any grasping thought.
