Thou shalt not steal. (Exodus 20:15).
Many people will say, “We always knew that we must not steal. If we do we shall have trouble and probably wind up in prison.” All through the ages it is only the smallest percentage of human beings who have stolen. Respect for other people’s property was learned early in the history of civilization. However, this most fundamental law of life means that actually we cannot steal. Your consciousness of the presence of God in other people would have been so strong that no one can take from you what belonged to you by right of that consciousness.
These ten laws of life are things that cannot be done, and so, says the great prophet in effect, do not waste yourself or your life trying to do these things. They cannot be done. They conflict with the fundamental Law of Being.
When we give up trying to steal, then we shall begin to have our own. We shall come into our own rights, and when we get that, liberation will not be very far off.
There is nothing we could steal that is more precious than what God gives us freely. Also, we can never gain more from taking something that is not ours, than it will cost. Just as giving sews exponential returns of love; taking that which is not ours creates multiplied negative returns and loss.
Let us be about the business of giving, so that the fruits we harvest from our gardens yield multiple returns of love, peace and hope.
Giving for living,
