MOULDING (Commandment 9)
The ninth Commandment advises us to, "Mould your living so as to rouse a feeling of love and piety in others".
Why should we live like this? Our primary duty we have noted earlier is to reach the Homeland. This we do by annihilating our individual creation and live in the domain of the Divinity. Having achieved this it becomes our duty to help our brethren also to reach the goal. By living in a manner that arouses love and piety to the Divine in others we would be discharging our responsibility. Though this appears to be very difficult it is possible. We know we got motivated to move towards the Divinity because of Revered Babuji. That if it was possible for Him to be a Divine in expression it shall be a possibility for all of us also. That is why Revered Babuji has really exhorted all of us to become as we see it in the Prayer he gave us to follow.
He never said that we fall at his feet and that is our Goal. We say "fall at His feet" because of our deficiencies and weakness. We say it because of our incapacity to live up to the level at which He lived. We are conscious of our inability to reach that level. That's why we all say that Revered Babuji is the Master and we all surrender to him to reach the goal. Still that is not how Revered Ramchandra wants us to live. He exhorts us to live in such a way as He lived so that, if He could motivate all of us to think in terms of Divinity, we also as expressions of Divinity shall motivate others to come up to that level. We may be insignificant men, but still we can show the path to others. How to do this? By following all the above Commandments. Living according to the levels expected of us, we will be in a position to influence others.
Moulding our speech, moderation being our approach, balanced existence being our approach, piety being our approach, devotion being our approach, love being our expression, it should be possible for us to make others think in terms of Divinity. Each one of us is succeeding to some extent. None of us have succeeded to the extent that He succeeded, perhaps we will not but still, that is the challenge. That is the opportunity. That is His call. Revered Babuji's call is "Mould your living so as to rouse a feeling of Love and Piety in others". It is not something that we may do or may not do. It is not something that we can do or cannot do. He says 'Mould yourself', from this particular individual creation of egoism, arrogance, intolerance, trying to dictate terms to others, trying to say the
