 Commandment - 7
Be not revengeful for the wrongs done by others.
Take them with gratitude, as heavenly gifts.
The seventh commandment instructs that one should not be revengeful for wrongs done to one by others. One should treat the acts of such kind emanating from any one as helps towards purification.
This is about the most difficult of the commandments to follow or even to think of. In a world of action and reaction of forces said to be opposed to one another as godly and ungodly, good and evil, it is really necessary to think afresh on this problem and commandment.
Shri Ram Chandraji reminds that the entire philosophy behind this Abhyas or Sadhana has to be considered. The original condition is one of Santhi or peace and it is coolness itself. Earlier it has been shown that all activity has increased heat and light and consciousness and finally misery has resulted from this excessive heat. These radiations from the Centre are thus the natural processes which however, tend to give up heat and return to the original state or coolness. We know that we all seek the night and also coolness (of course, not in excess). We all seek sleep as the period of rest or restfulness. The periods of meditations are for the sake of returning to this coolness or Anantha or Santhi. There is a law called the Second Law of Thermo_dynamaics, which says that entropy tends to a maximum (entropy being the state of rest of non-motion or non-heat). The whole world is working according to this law. This will mean that even the sun is finally to become without heat; of course if nothing intervenes to lift it up from that condition. All of us seek rest normally unless activity is needed for the preservation of the body or system. If nothing intervenes, entropy will certainly tend to become absolute or maximum. We know also that when a particular place is rendered very hot, due to the lowering of pressure, air from neighbouring places or surroundings begins to rush in to increase the pressure and relieves the depression and the heat. Even so when it passes to the place of depression through the extreme urgency of the condition, there
