The observation of others is coloured by our inability to observe ourselves impartially. We can never be impartial about anything until we can be impartial about our own organism.

Childish Questions
A little child asked
its father, 'Daddy,
why the goddess of justice
ties strip on her eyes? '
Father said, ''Son,
she closes her eyes
to do impartial justice.'
The child asked again
'Daddy, if one can be impartial
by closing one's eyes,
then, why all the blinds
are not appointed as judges? '

Powers Engaged
The return of the teacher and the return of love,
But the mind which can examine issues impartially tells the truth;
For a man is what he is because of what he thinks in his mind.
Wash me and cleanse me with your kiss,
For the heavens and the earth with listen to us;
Because you are the patience of my heart and,
I am the one for you on this love that is hidden inside you.
Like the powers engaged to uplift your dreams,
Come and be impartial to the truth;
For a woman is what she is becuase of what she thinks in her mind.
