GOSPEL READING: MATTHEW 11:16-19

People make judgments on others. They do so as they see. They observe the exterior and make judgment on the person who has both exterior and interior. Interior of a person has his intentions, desires, wishes, his motivations and many more as its components. It is very difficult to discern the interior of the person. This is the reason we say that a man is a mystery.

Exterior actions need not always reveal the interior of the person. Jesus criticized the Pharisees for their exterior show. Here Jesus tells his listeners not to judge others by their exterior show. One makes a quick (at times wrong) judgment seeing the exterior. Constant and consistent actions will reveal the wisdom of the person.

வெளி அடையாளங்டகளை வைத்து தீர்ப்பிடுவது தவறு. வெளி அடையாளங்கள் (பல வேளைகளில் வெளி வேடங்கள்) நம்மை தவறான தீர்ப்புக்கு இட்டுச் செல்கிறது. தொடர்ந்து செய்யும் நல்ல செயல்கள்தான் (அடையாளங்கள் அல்ல) ஒருவருடைய மனநிலையை> ஞானத்தை வெளிப்படுத்துகிறது.
