You are not the judge of his world!
When we judge, we divide the world into good and bad, innocent and guilty, polluted and pure, oppressor and oppressed, privileged and unprivileged, powerful and powerless. Whereas, world is meant to be seen as a fluid of cause and consequence, where there are no divisions, boundaries, hierarchies or rules.
A world created based on judgement evokes rage and life becomes a battleground like Kuru-kshetra, where both sides feel like victims, where everyone wants to win at all costs, where someone will always loose.
But, a world created by observation evokes insight, hence affection, for we see the hunger and fear of all beings. Life becomes a performance on a stage (rang bhoomi) aimed to comfort and nourish the other while deriving comfort and nourishment from their delight.
Lord Krishna never judged. He sees no one as a victim and hence he is worshipped as rang nath, lord of the stage. This is how he begins the Gita -
"Arjuna, you grieve for those you should not feel sorry for, and you argue as if you are a man of wisdom. But the wise grieve for none, neither the living nor the dead - Bhagvad Gita, chapter 2, verse 11.
