Elihu's Probe to Righteousness

Neville's Inner Vision

Remember, the Scriptural scene is within your mind. Elihu's question 'My righteousness is more than God's' exposes a state of consciousness called self-sufficiency. In Neville's terms, you are not praising a person but rehearsing a belief that you stand apart from the I AM. This belief creates a distance where cleansing from sin would yield profit to the ego rather than an alignment with divine reality. When you cling to such a posture, you keep yourself bound in the illusion of a separate self; the 'profit' you seek becomes chasing appearances rather than a felt change in awareness. Yet the moment you accept that cleansing is the activity of consciousness itself, you loosen the hold of the ego and invite the Presence you call God to operate as your life. Elihu's challenge can become an invitation: relinquish self-importance, let the standard be the I AM, and let your inner state do the cleansing. The inner turn is not punishment but liberation into wholeness.
