THE SIXTH COMMANDMENT
Thou shalt not kill (Exodus 20:13).
As rules of conduct, the commandments are just such “thou shalt nots” as you see written up, “No smoking” or “No thoroughfare.” But when you get behind the surface meaning, then “Thou shalt not” becomes “Thou must not.”
So this commandment, “Thou shalt not kill,” is fundamentally an expression of the cosmic law that you must not kill, and the sooner you find that out the better. We are always trying to kill. However, this commandment is here to tell us that to think we can kill anything is to lay up trouble for ourselves that will have to be met and wiped out some time or other.
Many people waste their lives in thinking how they are being hurt, or damaged, or injured by other people; how good they could be, what marvelous things they could do, if it were not for others. So long as we believe that, we cannot progress. As soon as we know that we are the ones responsible for what happens to us, and that if we follow God’s will nobody can control us, then you are free to overtake any mistakes, and to be and do the thing you want.
One of the most important lessons to learn from this commandment is that we can not solve or problems or challenges by “killing” something outside ourselves or by eliminating that external symptom which seems to be the cause of our problem. It is when we look inside ourselves for the true cause of our distress or limitation and look to God for the solution that our challenges are overcome.
It is then, that we take control of our destiny and then we are empowered to address and cure the actual cause of the problem instead of trying to eliminate the symptoms. It is then, that we open the door to the garden and enter God’s presence, there to experience the joy of a life filled with the comfort of hope, the certainty of faith and the reality of peace that surpasses all understanding.
