9th Commandment:
1. We recently had a cook who stayed with us for a month helping us in cooking. During a conversation with my parents about my life she told my parents that one pious son liberates seven generations. While I told her she overestimated me, I realized I carry lot of responsibilities.
The servant maid was surely wise and what she said is truth also.
2. Ahankar is slowly melting. The entire way of living is being given a re- look to make my 'self' smaller and pious.
Are you sure that is the what the Master says?
3. I had composed a poem long years back "Bande ki hasti mita, Bande ko khud mein mila", that is to say, " Oh God, please erase the existence of self / persona in me and merge me in thyself". This poem often comes to my thoughts during my meditation. "I" am waiting to merge in to the master like a drop in an ocean and there can be no separation thereafter.
If you merge in the Master as you say like drop in the Ocean you will be limiting your mergence you have with Him. On the contrary if you move in the path shown by Him not only does He keep company with you but enables you to display His greatness to the world at large. From my understanding the Commandment 9 is the mergence we have meaningfully.
