Inner Justice, Inner Cause

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this line I find the inward law behind outward justice. The 'man' who strikes his 'servant' is not a brute against a slave but the ego beating a portion of your being that serves your life—habit, discipline, belief, the inner assistant you lean on. The rod stands for harsh thoughts, fear, urgency, the impulse to force outcomes. When the servant dies under his hand, the inner state collapses; a line of life is broken and you feel the consequence as dissonance in your world. The 'punishment' this verse promises is the natural correction of your state: a reminder that you live in your own law and that violence toward your interior helpers yields unrest, not progress. The true healing comes when you revise, not retaliate: treat the servant as a partner, bless the instinct that serves you, and align it with your I AM. In that reintegration, the outer world fades from its fearsome edge, and justice—quiet, radiant, inevitable—arrives as a natural fruit of your renewed consciousness.
