others shall see Divinity alone, we shall be totally forgotten by others. When they see us- they must see Divinity in us. Let us take for example, our Master Revered Babuji. We know He has not given us a scope to think that He is father of Prakash or father of Umesh or son of Sri Badriprasad or disciple of somebody else. We know fully He has not given that image at all to us. He has given only one image to us and that image is He is Divinity in expression. There is no other image that He is capable of giving us. He annihilated Himself to that extent and He pleads with us to come up to that level. Nothing short of it is our Goal.
The Goal, the imaginary goal of complete oneness with God during meditation is not the Goal advocated by Sri Ram Chandra. That is not what He is asking us to achieve, whatever we say of our state of mind during our meditation shall find expression outside and when can it be? When we are a total 'Zero', not when we become zero during meditation, which most of us become-most of us have achieved that stage. Most of us have achieved a stage of oneness with Him, in meditation we are finding ourselves calm, absolutely undisturbed, no thought, and everything is fine in deep Samadhi. Still when others see us, they see us as X, Y, Z. They don't see Divinity in us. The reason for that is we have still hidden Him inside, the Divinity is still inside the cave. That is what Revered Lalaji Maharaj said about God Realisation. He said,' now you have been displaying yourself having Divinity hidden inside, now you hide and allow the Divinity to be seen by others.
Many seekers enter into this field of spirituality and express keen concern for realisation of their true nature. The rigors of practice and the experience they have make them move a considerable distance. But a state of complacency develops when the experience of meditation and the changes observed in oneself are felt as satisfactory. In the long journey through the desert, oases are there but they shall not be our resting places. The famous story of the race between rabbit and the tortoise is a standing example of taking rest forgetting the goal. Unless a Master of caliber is available one is likely to lapse into deep slumber half way in the path.
That is all about Sadhana and restlessness required of us. Once we understand our inseparable relationship with the Divine during our meditations through our progress in the path of spirituality, and this gets fomented by the constant watchful eye of the Master, clarity of the goal emerges and we implement this commandment easily.
