Inner Justice for Masters
Colossians 4:1 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Colossians 4 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Masters must grant their servants fairness and equity, mindful that they themselves answer to a Master in heaven. It places righteousness and dignity at the heart of the master-servant relationship.
Neville's Inner Vision
See the verse as a map of your inner state. The masters and servants are not actors in an outward hierarchy alone, but states of consciousness within you. When Colossians 4:1 says to render what is just and equal, it is urging you to align your inner climate with absolute fairness because you acknowledge a Master in heaven—the I AM that sustains all being. The servants are your thoughts, habits, and urges; justice is the proportional response you give each part from a clear, steady awareness, not from punishment or favoritism. As you dwell in that consciousness, your outer world begins to reflect harmony, since the inner law of perception becomes the outer law of experience. The Master in heaven is your higher Self, the overarching perceiver who sees every facet with mercy and precision. Thus righteousness becomes a living quality of your mind, a state you trust and extend in every interaction, rather than a rule imposed from without.
Practice This Now
Act now: close your eyes and assume you have already granted justice to every inner part; revise any sense of lack until you feel the Master approving. Then carry that feeling into the next moment.
