"For I say to you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter God's kingdom (the kingdom of heaven.)" Mt 5.20
Interpretation- Scribes and Pharisees represent those who are 'works' focused- they are motivated by the end result. 'Righteousness surpassing' that type (of person) refers to anyone who participates fully in the moment. Anyone swayed by end results is 'time blind'- unable to see Reality (God's kingdom) as it IS (in the moment.)
The perspective of works, and that of judging, completely alienates a person from Reality. It's due to the replacement of Reality (what IS) by 'your view of how reality should be' (IS not). When you accept Reality, you will find yourself 'instantaneously' IN THE KINGDOM! It's as if reality suddenly shifted (and became perfect), WITHOUT any change on your part.
